Ritchey P-29er Frame – Team Edition
The Ritchey P-29er – Team Edition is a steel hardtail frame developed for modern XC and real-world endurance riding, where efficiency, reliability and technical coherence matter more than trends. It is a 29er platform designed around a 100 mm fork, 1x drivetrains and current standards, with no unnecessary compromises.
The construction philosophy is purely Ritchey: proprietary steel tubing, balanced geometry and functional choices aimed at long-term durability and predictable ride behaviour, even over long distances and varying terrain.
Construction highlights
WCS Logic Tubing The frame is built using Ritchey Logic steel tubing that is triple-butted and heat-treated, developed in-house and optimised specifically for the TIG welding process to Tom Ritchey’s specifications. This results in a frame that prioritises structural strength, longevity and consistent ride quality, while remaining appropriate for XC use.
Integrated Seat Collar The distinctive fastback seat stay / seat tube junction integrates the seat collar. This solution is both recognisable and functional, securely clamping the seatpost while reducing external parts and potential failure points.

Questions and Answers about the Ritchey P-29er
What is the P-29er really designed for?
XC, marathon, and endurance off-road riding, as well as long rides on gravel and flowing trails: it’s a minimal 29er hardtail built for high mileage, with efficient and predictable handling.
Is it an adventure frame?
Not in the full sense: it’s not designed for heavy loads or structured touring, but it can work for light bikepacking and self-supported off-road rides.
What fork does it require?
It’s designed for a 100 mm Boost suspension fork; alternatively, it can be set up rigid with an equivalent axle-to-crown length to preserve geometry.
Can I run a double chainring?
No, it’s a 1x-only platform, aligned with a modern, simple, and reliability-focused setup.
What tire clearance does it support?
29” with 2.25 recommended and 2.3 maximum: a choice that prioritizes rolling efficiency over extreme tire volume.
Is it suitable for bikepacking?
Yes, for light and fast setups on pedal-focused, non-technical routes; less suited to heavy loads or very rough terrain where more volume and stability are required.
