Right, not on Photobucket, Flickr etc. so no pics unless someone can tell me how to do it from my iPhotos etc.

However, I thought I'd quickly post since I think this frame is fantastic and there are no reviews online. Hopefully someone might find this with a bit of Google Fu.

My other road bike is a Wilier Izoard. This does all the hard miles and it compliant, whippy and a lot of fun. It's got some speed too. I've now done about 600 miles on the Ritte including a 133 mile ride and a 100 miler. It is way more comfortable than I hoped for given the massive chainstays and is fast and linear. It's got just enough give but is incredibly responsive. I have decent TT bike and the Ritte seems to be nearly as direct. It is a beautiful bike to ride. It's got Super Record, Mavic Cosmic SLR's, Ritchey intergrated handlebars and a Selle SMP Dynamic saddle. It looks very lovely too. I HIGHLY recommend one. Just in case anyone is looking into getting one, get it.
