Local vintage collector in PugetSound parted with this frameset, I'll add the bits.
Hugo Rickert touring frame from 1959. Originally sold from Ted Ernst's shop in S.Cal.
Hugo was a one man shop in Dortmund Germany for more than 4 decades. Reportedly, His wife did much of the lug lining and tried to help him braze, after a stroke left him unable to continue his craft. Many medals won on bikes built by Hugo, most not wearing a Rickert logo.
A perfect fit for me, 60X58 with 17 cm headtube.
Hoping for 22 lbs with vintage 10speed stuff.
Here it is with my wheelset, brakes, saddle, etc. mocked up for sizing measurements.
