Ritte Bike! 2013 Vlaanderen
I was in Morrissons doing a lunch time shop and saw a chap wandering the isles with this delectable looking bike! (http://rittecycles.com/carbon/vlaanderen-2013/) Never seen one before but it looked super swish! Does anyone no anything about Ritte Bikes or own one?
I was trying not to stare at it to much but i was transfixed!

I regret every moment of buying a house, my bike parts consumption has dive bombed and my list of jobs to do have sky rocketted, forget the house, buy the frame is my advice to you
I'm selling mine in the classified if you really want to try one out!
Unfortunately, your timing's awful. Saving up to move house, or I'd probably have already taken it off your hands.
My local shop stock these and they do look very nice, researched them and found this thread in weight weenies : http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=74005&hilit...
Ohhh crap. You seen the new Muur model? CF main tubes & fork, stainless steel lugs & rear triangle. I could see my credit card taking a beating for this!
I saw a few people come into Cadence in Crystal Palace with various models of these. They look hot. Very pretty paint designs.
funny old world innit

Haven't you guys seen Ritte behind the peloton?
Funniest thing.

Does anybody else start to think of the chocolate bars after reading the name?
Yeah, I'd be wary of leaving my battered old GT outside mozzers in Salford, let alone that bad boy!
I don't know much about these bikes, but the CycleLab in hackney (http://www.cyclelab.co.uk/) carries them. I think they might to UK distribution for Ritte, but not sure...
Nice looking bikes. From what i've seen, they're a small American company who mostly offer high end custom carbon bikes and frames.. Not sure bout their reputation or quality as I've only ever seen one here but if they're speccing it with SRAM Red from what I can see in the pic above then they're going to be fairly high up there in terms of quality. I can see why he didn't want it to leave his sight.
There's a great story online about the guy who started the company. Google "Tour of Flanders 1919"
I have to walk round Morrisons with my bike as they don't provide cycle parking. That said mines a Felt so can't help s with the original post
wait, he was walking around in the supermarket with his bike? What anarchy is this?
It was Morrissons in Salford which may answer your question!
haha
The picture doesnt really do it justice! I followed him round for a while trying to be inconspicuous and see the spec but i was unsuccessful!
