Lanoy Sports Posted May 23, 2023 Share We are extremely pleased to announce our latest partnership with Ritte Cycles! When i saw they were launching a new carbon race bike i knew i had to get involved. and i am incredibly glad i did, the more i spoke with Brand Manager Elijah Grundel the more i realised just how much he understood what is really needed from a new era carbon bike and wheelset. Forget the mainstream sales tactics - yes the bike is aero, yes its cables are integrated, yes a frameset is a stunning 790g. But, and this is the part i love because it show just how much attention, time and thought has gone into the new Esprit and Othr wheels. The frame makes use of the brilliant T47 Bottom Bracket Standard. It also rather impressively makes use of the UDH hanger system - so no matter where you are you can find spares. Standard sized headset bearings, a standard 27.2mm seatpost and a standard steerer tube all make for a frameset that is super easy to live with without ever worrying about future ownership. I have to mention the finish on the esprit frames - that raw carbon is not easy to do. ask any aftermarket paint lab to do it to your existing bike and you'll get a laundry list of pages to go through on why they will not take any responsibly for the final finish. It is by far the most challenging way to finish off a bike, don't believe me? go check out a few of fat creations paint jobs and his thoughts when he takes on a bike trying to get a raw finish. I think if Ritte can pull off a nude finish it very clearly shows that Quality Control at the factory is as good as it gets. period. I will touch base on the Othr wheel is another post - but in short. unicorn wheels. Unicorn Wheels if you enjoy well thought out fun writing be sure to read through these great articles: Standard Standards - Keeping it simple Weight matters - the sweet spot Smooth is fast Geometry for the modern era Finally like all of my posts i will be building up one of these stunning machines and of course posting a billion pictures of the process right here for your viewing pleasure! The planned build will be the nude black frameset, Othr integrated bars and stem, the stunning Ultegra 12s (might upgrade to Dura Ace, but only because i think it will look sooo good on this frame) and then as much as i have a real um, crush shall we say on the Othr Anywhr 40 wheelset - this bike is going to be a display bike used to promote the Ritte Brand, so i have decided the Deeper ENVE SES 4.5 wheels will make for a rather eye catching ride! until then enjoy the following stunning launch pics!

Furbz Posted August 4, 2023 Share SO! details time! turns out this is a limited edition frameset! No 21 of 100! Bike Build from Ritte: Ritte Esprit in Nude black carbon - Size 52 Ultegra 12s di2 groupset 52/36 with a 11/30 cassette Othr carbon integrated bars Othr carbon seatpost 2023 ENVE SES 4.5 - Drool! Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR Tires 28mm Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo TM Superflow Delicious Ritte Bar tape - awesome stuff with spades all over it. Actual Build: Sadly our lovely customs delayed this build by inspecting the shipment. in the process the saddle and seatpost went missing. gotta love RSA! So in order to keep this build rolling i have had to make a few flying changes. CHANGES: Seatpost: ITM uniko black carbon 27.2mm Saddle: Prologo M5 Scratch Nack Carbon saddle Tires: Conti GP5000 S TR 28mm (my preferred tires) Additions and finishings: PRO carbon bottle cages and some teasers for you nasty kids!

Excuse me sir, but internal rim width on those ENVE's is wider than the wheels on my dual suspension mountain bike 🙃🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
