Other than a small coupling ring down by the bottom bracket there's nothing else that lets on that this is a take down bike. Some owners ride them for months or years between take downs without ill effects.Phillip Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553979458131339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-13732087226885986532017-08-08T02:15:33.053-07:002017-08-08T02:15:33.053-07:00SS couplings?

The Breakaway is a full size bike that takes down and stowes in it's own proprietary case. The case is just small enough that it usually isn't charged as oversized luggage although Ritchey makes no guarantee.
