Instead of a Ribble Audax I purchased this!

[WorcesteRob]

I've been looking at purchasing a road bike to increase my mileage and a Ribble Audax was top of the list, speaking with a mate at work he mentioned that he had a bike for sale and the price he offered it me for was too good to turn down.

Comes complete with full Shimano 105 groupset and upgraded with a Campag Record carbon seat post, checked over the bike tonight ready for the maiden voyage tomorrow and it is absolutely spotless

Reckon you've got a great purchase there. I bought a CAAD8 before Christmas and like it a heck of a lot.

mixing Shimano and Campag on one bike ? shock, horror, you will be drummed out of ....

oh bugger just remembered the Shimergo drive-train on my tourer

Good choice! they are great frames, rigid with point & shoot handling, enjoy the corners

 

[smokeysmoo]

Yeah, welcome to the world of CAAD

Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways, now edited out my noobness, these road bike component names are all a bit alien to me.

 

[NormanD]

Very nice indeed

Was £400 a good deal?

Was £400 a good deal?

Are you kidding? It's a steal. Most 105 bikes start at £1k new. That looks like a minter.

Ask your bike : - Tell me pretty maiden are there any more at home like you ?

Lovely bike - happy riding.

She was a bit confused when I got her home as the previous owner had been riding with the seat post backwards, it looks like it has only done a few miles and will be treated like the princess she is
