    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!

    Unfortunately, your timing’s awful. Saving up to move house, or I’d probably have already taken it off your hands.

    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.

    It was Morrissons in Salford which may answer your question! đŸ˜‰ haha

    Nice looking bikes. From what
    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”
