I checked Ryde website, https://www.ryde.nl , a search for CSS only found some references to history.There was a lot going on during the change from Rigida to Ryde, not just the name, but new owners, new manufacturing location, acquired another brand, rationalised products to avoid duplication... I read that the CSS machinery never made it to the new factory, and was sold for an entirely different purpose. I don't think CSS rims were a huge commercial success, I think touring cyclists are just as likely to need a replacement for other reasons than wearing one out. Then of course, along came disc brakes...
I would be surprised if they are made again. I suspect that SJS found some new old stock.
