Ascent Frameset - Steel X-Large Desert Dust

The Ritchey Ascent Frameset in X-Large Desert Dust is an incredibly adaptable bike frame. It's crafted from heat-treated triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing with TIG welding. This frame comes with rack and fender mounts, and a multi - purpose mount under the downtube. The new Ritchey steel fork offers multi - purpose rack, fender, and dynamo light mounts. It's compatible with post - mount brakes, has 148mm spacing, and an external seat collar. You can customize it for different rides. Attach a mountain bike bar and 27.5' wheels for trail adventures, or use drop bars and 29' wheels for long - distance rough road riding. The riding options are endless! It includes rack and fender mounts, 3 multi - purpose mounts (2 on the fork and 1 on the frame), and a threaded crown port. The new Ritchey steel fork has a 1 - 1/8' straight steerer, and it fits both 27.5' and 29' wheels and tires.

Using the Ritchey Ascent Frameset is a breeze. First, decide on your riding style. If you want to hit the trails, attach a mountain bike bar and 27.5' wheels. For long - distance rough roads, go for drop bars and 29' wheels. When installing racks or fenders, use the pre - installed mounts on the frame and fork. Be careful when handling the steel frame to avoid scratches. As for maintenance, regularly check the TIG - welded joints for any signs of wear. Clean the frame with a mild soap and water after rides, especially if you've been in muddy or dusty conditions. Lubricate the moving parts like the seat collar regularly to keep them functioning smoothly. Also, check the brake compatibility and make sure the brakes are in good working order before each ride.
