Yep, dunno how that happened? It used to be my SCR4! I got bored with the Giant, so purchased the Ribble frame (Blue M3) last month and took all the Campy stuff off the SCR and built up the Ribble.

Two reasons, the Ribble frame size/geometry matches my Wilier perfectly, so I am able to have both bikes set up identically, and I wanted something that said 'serious cyclist', not that the Giant frame wouldn't be considered as a serious bike, but it was very common, we all like a little bit of individualism.

I always think if you see someone out on a Ribble that they probably have at least one other bike and the Ribble is their training/winter bike. Moreover they are probably a committed cyclist.

What I can say is that I was very pleased with the level of service and advice I recieved from Ribble, and I would most certainly buy from them again having seen the quality value for money.

lovely , very nice colour too. ;)

Not sure about the carbon forks though? I bought some to fit to my Ribble but I prefer the self coloured original steel to look at but at 750gms they are as heavy as a house brick

I can't wait to rebuild my Ribble again. I must just keep the original flo pink . Its probably an icon now at 19 years old. :thumbsup:

They have there own 'secure' parking - i.e. garage -it's been about 5 years since the car got in there - as soon as the kids got bikes too.......

The two road bikes have a little tube heater next to them to take any 'dampness' out of the air....

I knew Garages have their uses - I am thinking of investing in a bigger shed !
