Ribble 'Winter'/'Training' Bike

[themosquitoking]

Received it on Monday!! (eventually - as initially, the person at work, who deals with 'C2W' was off)

Tiagra groupset
172.5mm cranks, 50/34 rings
11-25 cassette
100mm stem (could really do with a 110)
42cm bars
SPD's (well it is a commuter/winter/training bike)
SKS mudguards

Only downsides, I can find, so far, are;
1. the Tortec pannier rack I also ordered won't fit, due to the 'hooded' (Ritchey style) drop-outs & inteferance with the brake caliper at the seat-stays
2. The standard saddle (Selle-Italla X1) is too flat for me, I'll probably put a 'Flite' (original 1990 style) on it

Just seen these on the 'Cycling Weekly' site
Seem damned good deal with regard for weight/cost ratio; http://www.cycledivision.co.uk/product-info.php?pid133.html

Mindst you, they'd be far better on the Ridley, & its Fulcrums transferred to the Ribble..
