Tom Ritchey
Tom Ritchey is a former national level racer,
passionate rider, and resourceful product designer with a unique,
common sense approach to building the best road and mountain
components available. Tom was on the scene with other pioneers in the
early days of mountain biking, and he saw numerous ways to improve the
equipment they were using. But his desire to build better parts wasnt
rooted in some grand business plan - many parts simply didnt exist,
and the ones that did required substantial improvement. Tom saw an
opportunity to develop stronger, lighter, better components.
Starting in high school, Tom was focused on saving weight without compromising the strength of the racing bicycles he built for himself. Over the years, Toms focus has shifted from frame building to component design, but his obsession with functional, lightweight and reliable equipment has not wavered. A knack for developing and refining manufacturing processes and using the best resources available has furthered Ritcheys reputation as one of the most prolific component manufacturers in the industry. Many Ritchey designs and manufacturing methods have become industry standards. The success of Ritchey products in international competition has validated Toms ideas and generated valuable feedback to further refine and develop new Ritchey products. Today, Tom still puts in over 10,000 miles a year on his bike, constantly thinking of new ways to make it better. These miles of experience and unending passion about bicycles shine through every detail of a Ritchey component.
