Ritte Ace Build

[Furbz]

And if I may ask... where did you order the frame from. Its gorgeous

 

i got it from Jonathan at Game Day Importers

http://www.gdicycles.co.za/ritte/

(site seems to be down atm)

 

it is only 1 of 15 Ritte Aces in the country and 1 of 3 in this colour.

[madbradd]

by a long shot the best price on the bars. 

i got quoted R4600 locally for them from the importer. R5k in cyclelab.

 

i have a set on my Look 586.

they are fantastically comfortable.

it was an easy choice for me at to get a second set, esp at that price

 

Cheapest I found them at is Ribble.

Haven't bought as I'm wanting to order more to make it worth it, but might be worth looking at.

UPDATE:

 

got a box of goodies delivered!

Record EPS V3

 

Also could not help but start putting a few pieces together

[Furbz]

So this weekend was productive.

 

finished off installing the EPS system.

Had Cyclelab assist with the Press Fit BB - Thanks Kirk!

 

i had some specialized mtb bottle cages that are new that i put on the bike. i plan on swapping these out for something a little more road specific and sexier.

 

here is the finished product.

 

to me its not a bike, but a working piece of art! - really is exceptionally pretty!

The finished build consists of the following:

 

> Ritte Ace Framset - including fork and seatpost

> Campagnolo Record EPS V3 - bluetooth and ant+ version

> Specialized Phenom Pro Saddle

> Powertap P1 Power Pedals

Damn, that's one good looking bike!

 

Wish you happy and safe miles with it. 

[Letum911]

_{Wow your bike has turned out beautifully. Well done. I hope that you have many safe miles on her.}

[mikkelz]

Beautiful grass (sorry, I live in Cape Town...).

 

Nice bike too.

thanks man,

have done 2x rides on her so far. 

stiffer than my Look 586, so feels faster when putting power down.

also did not notice any additional fatigue on the 2x 100km rides when compared with my look 586.

so i am really happy!
