I had THE original impossible hour frame, for a few weeks. no fork, but the frame, verified by the man himself.
Most of Ole Ritters frames (inc. the IH bike) was made by danish framebuilder Banani. and then labelled benotto for sponsor reasons. BUT this frame was made by pogliaghi!
The frame had RITTER stamped into the bottom bracket shell.
Rumor has it, that the same story goes for the first cinelli lasers. The were also made by banani for the danish rider H.H. Ørsted.
Cinelli was on the brink of banruptcy and needed something new and wild and Ørsted was the perfect rolemodel.
