Ribble? There's Lovely

[Accy cyclist]

?website says £949 not £1200?

It said £1199.99 yesterday. Maybe they're becoming like Planet X and constantly changing their prices.

It'd be dead ace if they opened one ower 'ere.

The shop is only temporary until the New Year.

It looks like Ribble has just gone upmarket.

I like it.

Thanks for posting it. Ive just spent 70 quid I didn't need to

I saw this in the article.http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-cgr-disc-special-edition/
Nice, but it's £1200 for an alloy frame and Tiagra 10 speed.

The lower price is the 'From', which is Sora 9-speed, bog-basic specification

They're not light!!

My specification is listed in the link in my above post, & whilst I've not weighed it, it certainly feels a lot heavier than my 'blue'

The CGR is about the same as my old Kinesis T2 (with mudguards).

I'm not such a Wibble fan. That said, my perception is based upon their alloy frames of a couple of years ago and it looks like they've had a full redesign since then, so it might be time to try another.

I almost bought a CR3, but couldn't justify the price, as a commuter, even to myself
Would have been same spec, as my CGR, but, it had to be ordered with a 46/36 chainset - no good to me!!
(would have had to buy another chainset)


Looking at the ex-demo/photographic bike for sale, though, that carbon frame looks lovely

I like my CR1 very much, however as it's my first "proper" bike I do not have much to compare it with. It replaced my aged Trek Hybrid (15 years in the shed)
The beauty of Ribble for me is it's location, I went to their showroom and chatted to the chaps there and chopped and changed the spec to one that suited me.

The other bike I looked at was a Merlin but that came in one spec only. So back to Ribble I went.

Yes seen a review on them and they stated they are not the lightest around, weight wouldn't be too much of an issue as I want it for wet and winter rides and i wont be flat out on it round corners, descending and up hill ,just more of a leisurely ride.
