Custom
We're proud to be able to offer a frame that's hand-tailored, handcrafted, hand-painted and just damn handsome.
We start from scratch, designing a frame unique to you--your size, riding style, aesthetic. We can use Reynolds and Columbus steel, KVA stainless steel and Envy Composites carbon tubing, which is then welded or brazed or bonded to showpiece perfection right here in Southern California. Our builder is Russ Denny, who has 30 years of frame building experience.
We aim to create contemporary styled framesets, typically using oversized tubes, BB30 or PressFit bottom brackets and slightly sloping geometries, for a stiff, lively bike that can perform along side our carbon models. And often only weighs slightly more than a molded, all-carbon frame.
Some of our favorite frames are:
The stainless steel and carbon Muur.
The all-stainless Snob.
Each frame is made to order, please fill out our frame request form or contact your nearest Ritte dealer.
Lead time is 8-10 weeks.
CRASH REPLACEMENT:
All Ritte Van Vlaanderen frames are covered by a full 3 year factory warranty against defects in material and construction. They are also covered by a 3 year crash replacement program. The crash replacement program works like this: If you have an accident that damages the frame you contact Customer Service. Customer Service will provide you with a return authorization number and address for you to ship the frame to. The frame will be inspected when it is returned to Ritte Van Vlaanderen. You will be contacted by Customer Service and provided with the details of the tech inspection as well as the prorated amount for a replacement frame. Our number one goal at Ritte Van Vlaanderen is to support our customers.
