Franken-Rickert
My buddy picked up this frame, painted it and built it up. Not NOS but just parts he found on the web. I thought some Rickert fans might like to see the geometry etc. And yes, he did paint over the chrome socks that were in really bad shape.

This bike belongs to a close friend of mine. I'll see if he can send me some more pics of the important parts i.e. lugs, BB etc. I only had a chance to ride it up and down the block so I can't say with any certainty how it rides. I think he has a few more bugs to work out of it i.e. tightening the front axle (it was wobbling a bit) and stuff like that.
