Ritte Esprit - Californian Dreaming!

Our client Tim rides a lot. Every day. For pure entertainment, Tim is riding every single road in The London A-Z! Which we think is astonishing and commendable. All of this has so far been transacted his increasingly aged but still spirited Ritte. By way of reciprocity, Tim has stayed loyal to Ritte and snagged the first Esprit carbon frame to come into the UK!

And this is the stunning result - Fresh from California - Ritte's brand new Esprit Frameset (including frame/forks/integrated bar/stem and seatpost. Built with new SRAM Force AXS 12 sp groupset, and from the UK, Hunt's range-topping Limitless 60 wheelset with ceramic bearings.

The Ritte Esprit is a very rare frame, made in tiny numbers. We think this is the only example in the UK.
