I was trying to keep up with a guy who was riding the same bike, as a was recovering from a hill climb, I saw a yellow bike coming out @ the bridge exit. I managed to catch him @ a light & admire his bike.

Not the everyday bike you see the on road + 2013 Sram Red + Zipps = H.O.T
Top 5 in my book without any doubt.
Thanks, I own that Caad10; but after tomorrow, it will be just a bare frameset as it looks for its new owner. I'd take that Bosberg over any C'dale anyday.

The Ritte is the same frameset as a Pedal Force CG1.....but you buy it mainly for that HOT paintjob.

So what exactly am I looking at here? I'm seeing a rear derailleur but no front, on a SS/dual purpose frame? A fat bladed CF fork undeneath a massive headtube connected to otherwise normal gauge frame tubing? And disc brakes? Hmmm. I think I like it.
