I've said it once and I'll say it again: Check out this rad Competitive Cyclist review!: "If you're interested in assessing the likely stiffness of a frame without even riding it, inspect the girth of its tubing junctures -- that's where the tale is told. It's analogous to a suspension bridge or a tall tree, where beefy ends give the structure as a whole resistance to torsional flex. Take a long look at the headtube/down tube juncture and the down tube/BB juncture of the Excalibur and then utter one big 'WOW.'"
"Anything Outdoor" - Cyclist (climber, then sprinter...learning to climb again!...UPDATE: gave up on climbing.) I work for Ritchey Design in San Carlos and blog more on the company blog than this one anymore. This one's an occasional hobby these days.

Nice...you wouldn't believe how "on the edge of my seat" I am right now. It's in a box at the shop just waiting to get built.
