Last spring, when Ritchey introduced a top-tier 1-piece carbon Superlogic Butano Ridge cockpit, I thought it looked nice & sleek. But frankly, I’m often put off by the lack of adjustability of integrated designs, so I didn’t immediately think I needed to put one on any of my own bikes. But then, as I looked more closely at its details – specifically the sweep of the tops, the familiar smooth compact curve, and gentle flare of the drops – I thought maybe I should give these a try.

I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I popped over to the start of Stage 16 of the Giro d’Italia yesterday in Piazzola Sul Brenta for an up-close look at all 23+ of the road bikes being raced at the Italian Grand Tour. For yesterday’s 203km climbing stage with four categorized climbs – including the 18.2km final Cat. 1 climb of almost 1000m to the finish – there were a mix of versatile aero all-rounders and lightweight bikes tweaked to shed grams and likely push the 6.9kg UCI weight barrier.
