Again the needs are niche which is why I have gone for custom.
Ritchey Breakaway system for a smaller box for flights, All Road bike specification to cater for all sorts of roads I encounter during a tour and of course something that fits my diminutive size.
Just curious, does Ritchey license their Break-Away system to other builders or are you getting a custom bike from Ritchey?
I got a Raleigh Grand Prix two years ago with the Ritchey Break-Away system, I assumed that Raleigh licensed with Ritchey but later a bike shop manager that had sold several of those Raleighs told me that Ritchey made the frames for Raleigh.
FYI, if you are not aware, you will want to have a torque wrench for the lower coupling. A torque wrench did not come with mine, I had to e-mail Ritchey to ask what to torque setting to use.
