Jesse,

Please let me know if you still have this bike. I grew up i Dortmund where Hugo Rickert used to build bikes for over 50 years. I remember this particular model (after all he didn't change his design too much). This must have been created in the early 1990s. He would drive to Belgium to put chrome onto his frames/forks, so, the whole frame is Reynolds tubing. He actually only worked with Reynolds tubes (though he started playing around with some oversize Columbus tubes shortly before his stroke in the early 2000s). If I were you, i'd refrain from selling this one. Rickert was special among German frame builders, he didn't care for marketing, never gave out any information to bike magazines, and only build you a frame if he liked you. Some people were waiting months, others (mostly racers) got theirs right away if they needed to, while others again would never get one...His wife was building the wheels, and painted the lugs... keep it. He is not building anymore, and it is one of a kind, especially in the US.
