Richard Sachs Cycles

[ldamelio]

Richard - your bike? Client bike? Thought you only did complete builds with SRAM these days. Just curious.

Lou

[e-RICHIE]

Yes no and no and thanks atmo.

[Lionel]

This is going to be nice. Elegance is back.

[Bob Ross]

Yes no and no

I swooned.

[e-RICHIE]

I call this one, "Dan C Ponders Austin" atmo.

These popped onto my Iconosquare feed.

Tape even Rose Mary Woods couldn't destroy atmo -

[e-RICHIE]

I mined this from Iconosquare atmo.
Jonny Pucci took it at the paint shop.
I believe it's a respray.

[Sascha Roszak]

Jeez...want one so bad...

Is the cue still full? A Sachs would make my 50th so much better...only nine years away... ;)

Supposedly Richard closed the books several years ago for new customer orders, and the wait was about six years at that time. I guess this could have changed between then and now; Richard will probably chime in and let us know.

[e-RICHIE]

Thanks, Sascha and blue boy.
Those are topics I only address privately.

Richard, is that the same "saffron" color that the very first House colorway frames were painted?

[Shinomaster]

That's Ultra-Elegant.

The color is big. It's the cameras that got small atmo. Damn Sony RX100 Mk2...

I'm not a big fan of the rear brake cable running on the top, but that's a personal preference.
The bike oozes quality, and is topped up with a great finish.

[Peter Polack]

Why did you decide on an external rear cable run when you could have had an internal cable for no extra charge? (Serious question; unintended humor.)

Why the choice of Campy after embracing SRAM for many years? Did you consider Campy electronic?

Are you offering frames fitted for electronic wiring?

Nice photos, by the way. I'll bet they don't capture the intensity of that orange vs. in person, where I'm certain it really "pops".

[e-RICHIE]

Peter - I no longer offer the internal stainless routed brake casing option. No on the wiring or electronics. PS I made the leap - back.
Andrea - I place the parts there because I don't like the look of casing section all droopy like a bad question mark, and/or interfacing with the stay on its way to the caliper.

RS and campy, piece has been restored in the universe

Does this mean the CX team will be on the Campagnolo awesomeness next season?
