this is rickert and his wife. they did all the work. he made the frames mostly from 531 tubings. she painted them. rickerts use to have a double pinstripe on the seatstays (the doris doppelstrich) rickert died last year. till then he had buildt around 30.000 frames from 1952 on.
so rickerts are quite rare. especially track frames. many pros had one. the frames are pretty solid but the paint is often far from perfect. you can see if doris rickert was in a good or bad mood. rickerts are no top models but really pretty and nice to ride......
im not sure about the wheels because its lf on the back and hf on the front. both 28h. 28h are pretty rare so i doubt that i can find matching wheels for an acceptable price.
but since ive got phil laced to omega v's for road use ....whatever.
