Some help please - custom bike

[Sunny Portrush]

Hi all, it's a long and sad story but I have now inherited this bike. The guy who built this bike is no longer with us. He had built it for his wife who never used it. I'm struggling to find out much about it as all the components are different.

It is a size Medium, a bit like the Argon 18 I have but I think some tweaks are required so it fits me better (dropping the saddle for starters). I'm 6ft and his wife nearly the same height as me

Any advice is well appreciated including how much I should be insuring it for.

I cannot really help you. But that is a really nice bike.

It weighs 6.5kg!

I'm guessing it's a Ridley Noah, not a Noah Fast, with 11 speed SRAM Red. I'd be insuring it for £1300-1500 with that wheelset.

I searched for both of those but in most cases, the brand name is far more prominent than in mine

That's because it's actually a Ridley Jane, the women's version of the Noah. Some digging shows it as the 2017 model; the women's version was the same but with a size stated which was one higher than the mens: https://99spokes.com/en-GB/bikes/ridley/2019/jane-framefork-set

So technically it's a really nice ladies bike

Enjoy riding Jane
