What a beauty!!
I'm really glad you've posted a picture, I have one on order through Cycle Scheme and wasn't sure how it'd look in 'standard' trim and I think yours looks the business.
How is everything? Feel the need to change anything yet? How does it ride?
Got mine through the Cycle Scheme too
I had actually ordered the standard black tape and tyres, but having looked about at so many bikes, I ended up changing my order
Happy with the whiteness myself, all personal preference though.
Very happy with the ride, just one slight issue when I first went out - something was loose up front... turned out to be a loose headset thats all.
Ribble explained to me that they often need tightening after a week or so, its just that mine must have started out a bit loose.
I've gone from a 10 yr old Giant Team ONCE, and they're completely different animals. The Ribble si obviously much lighter, and despite the thinner tyres (23 as oppose to 25), its a more comfy ride.
Acceleration is superb, very responsive (mine is the Centaur 10) I can get up the climbs a lot quicker. Handling is spot on too.
Major Mantra, the tyres seem fine. I know they're only cheapies, but they do grip well in the dry. I've chucked it into tight bends at speed with no issues (i've not ridden in the wet yet).
