Bill, if I wasn't so old and not in need of another steel, I would sure consider a Ritt. I've known Gary for a long time, back when he was originally building, he put a 5th lever on a near new EMCI I had at the time. He did a great job, and tweaked the steel while he had it.

My New RITTENBERRY

Post by Carl Kilmer »

OK Guys, Here is my new Rittenberry.
WOW! This built the way a steel should be.
Beautiful, and very smooth and easy pedals.
I'm gonna love this (even if it is black)
