About this product
This Ritchey Breakaway Road Bike is a vintage 54cm steel frame featuring a Dura Ace 7402 groupset and a carbon fork. It's designed for road cycling with 700C wheels, drop handlebars, and rim brake mechanical stopping power. The bike is equipped with a 16-speed drivetrain and clincher tires, presented in a black finish. The inclusion of Dura Ace 7402 components points to a higher-end build from its era, offering a blend of classic performance and some modern touches like the carbon fork.
Our take
This Ritchey Breakaway with Dura Ace 7402 is a fantastic blend of vintage class and practical performance, especially with the carbon fork. The 54cm steel frame offers a smooth, responsive ride that's great for long road efforts. While the 16-speed Dura Ace 7402 group is certainly not current, it was top-tier in its day and still performs reliably. The rim brakes are mechanical, which means solid stopping but without the power of modern hydraulic discs. For $995.00, it's a well-equipped, vintage road bike that would be a joy to ride or collect, balancing classic aesthetics with good componentry.
