New to the Board, heres my pride n joy

[Baggggerz]

Being from the North West, I opted for Ribble. Love the bike and the rims keep it rolling forever. Ultegra throughout and Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL's Deda finishing kit.

Looks like a sweet ride, done many miles on it yet?

 

[Baggggerz]

A couple of hundred. Really comfortable and goes "Up" well too. Done Beacon fell loop a few times. Loving it but I have already started looking at either a Cervelo S3 or a TCR Adv SL.

Welcome and nice bike!

Looks awesome!, loving those wheels really suit it. I went for the new sportive racing in the end but I think the Fondo would have been my second choice. If it had Cervelo written on the downtube would you be thinking of changing it?

 

[Baggggerz]

I think youre right Goody. The answer to that is no. Did the Manchester to Blackpool on it yesterday 3:30 and very comfortable. A faultless bike from start to finish and maybe I bought into the brand snobbery looking at Cervelo's etc. Throw into the mix that im relatively inexperienced and the fact that the Ribble is far more competent than I am and I think the answer is to stick with what I have. Funny how this cycling bug effects us.

I nearly went for the Sportive Racing too. Not sure why I didnt, just a snap decision in the shop whilst trying both out for size.

 

[goody]

I live too far away from the shop to have a look before I ordered mine. Reviews seemed positive for both so got the New Sportive because I prefered the paint job.

Sweet ride.

If i was really nit-picking I'd say the wheels let it down - don't know what it is about aero wheels but I just can't stand them!!

 

[Shanksy]

aero wheels are cool as

3:30 for manchester to blackpool? fek me!! got my bike end of march, ive done over 1,000 miles on it and only managed 3:28 lol

 

[Easytigers]

Have seen a few Ribble bikes around but just have to say...WOW!

I'm not liking the huge logos they put on everything.
