Winter Road Bikes

[Fifelad]

Anyone recommend a good winter road bike without breaking the bank?( I know its the middle of summer ! ) Ribble look like they have some good value bikes.

Surosa Cycles sell a useful Ribble alternative. I've had one of these frames as a winter trainer now for 2-3 years - really nice frame. I bought mine as a 'frame only', so can't comment on the build listed here, but it looks to be pretty good.

I had a Ribble 7005 winter/audax that I bought as a new bike with 105 which was great, then like a knob I sold it

So last January I bought a new Ribble 7005 winter/audax frame and built it up myself. They make a great bike IME.

The amount you see on the roads speaks volumes IMO. I'd recommend a Ribble to anyone

Here's mine, although the Brooks and the bar end lights have now gone.

Was at Ribble today, had a quick gander at the winter trainer but it was nearly closing time so had to go.
Looked decent, 23's with guard clearance and fittings
