Ritte

[upside]

I have to say that those paint jobs on the Ritte bike are some of the sweetest I have seen. Whoever is designing them has quite the foresight. I really can't afford a new one, so I have been watching the used market.
Does anyone know who is painting these gorgeous bikes? Is there someone in the USA?
I find myself just dreaming about these and the clothing again is just so striking..... anyway enough jabbering

I like them as well. As far as I know Ritte was started by a graphic designer based in the US. First frames were Chinese open molds with bold paint jobs, the business has grown and Ritte has developed their own frames like the newest Ace. Well, they are expensive, but there is a cheaper way to have similar bold graphics. I've seen a lot of Chinese carbon frames painted in a "Ritte way" with unique colors. For around $500-800 you can order a frame set with custom paint job from Hongfu or the like.

Have to agree. Love those colourways of the Rittes, just bought a chinese open mould to give it a go. Trying to track down actual colours they use rather than just guess using photoshop dropper tool.

I do like the paint on them, I guess it figures there is a graphic designer behind the company.
