Talking in the LBS shop the other week and they seemed to think that Ritchey frames are now being sold direct. I can’t find anything, but the usual online retailers seem to be running low/out of stock which would fit with going direct.
In particular I’m looking at the Outback which doesn’t seem to have been released anywhere??

paligap are the UK dist. But Ritchey set up a direct to dealer last year so maybe they have ditched paligap now?

Actually, that says paligap for components, so maybe your LBS needs to talk to the German euro dist now.

Yeah I’d seen Paligap still had the components, but no frames. I’d assumed the direct bit was more like Canyon/Rose etc

I know it’s a different brand, but Pace are now going direct sales only!

I know it’s a different brand, but Pace are now going direct sales only! That’s been true since they launched the RC127. Their own shops excepted.

I ended up tweeting Paligap and Ritchey. Ritchey are saying Paligap are still the distributor. The Outback isn’t out until the autumn 😐
