I've been dithering for ages about a new bike, hugely tempted by the Ribble Gran Fondo, especially as it now has all carbon fork.
However, I have a dilemma. I'm 5'10 and a half inches, which puts me just on a large. I'm concerned the headtube though will put me too upright, but if I go down a size then I'd need a 130 stem.
The Evo Pro is more straightforward as the headtube is shorter, but Iike the look of the Fondo and full carbon fork better.
Is there anyone near Bedford with a carbon Ribble about my size 5'6" - 6'1" that I could sit on? Any model will do, as most of their geometry is fairly similar.
