if you missed out on the limited edition, here is a regular run of the garden city in red.
Description
They say less is more, and the Ritchey Garden City frameset is designed to bridge the gap between pure track racing and practical, urban cycling.
Named after the San Jose track cycling team, the Garden City is an homage, meant to show gratitude for the community that nurtured Ritchey’s love of track racing. It’s a bike meant to be ridden to the track and then raced, used as a winter training bike, a reliable commuter, or just thrashed around the street.
The frame is constructed from TIG-welded, triple-butted, and heat-treated Ritchey Logic tubing and features a unique flared 1 1/8" head tube, custom Ritchey Logic dropouts, and internal ED coating throughout to prevent corrosion. A Ritchey Comp Carbon Road Fork is included, resulting in a versatile frameset that is both supple and responsive, with clearance for 28mm tires in both the front and rear.
Drilled for bottles and brakes, it's ready for more than just a cross town commute. With no restriction on how you build it or ride it, Garden City is testament to less really being more.

I really like how they did the seat stays to seat tube junction on this. I don’t care for that headtube though. I don’t like integrated headsets
That’s a beautiful bike. Deep red with dull yellow/orange lettering is great.
You forgot to mention one thing: $1200 for the frame set.
Very hot, just wish it had better tire clearance
Man, that’s beautiful. I love that it’s a true track bike too, narrow tire spacing and all. 28mm is just fine. Everybody trying to turn their fixed gear into a fat bike these days.
When does it drop
Ritchey don’t miss ever
