    Ribble charge a lot for shipping complete bikes to Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭ashleey


    Excellent delivery and reasonable price. A full bike would be extortionate though.

    Ah, OK. When I was looking earlier in the year it was more like 150.

    And it really annoys me that their website doesn't work in Firefox.

    edit: no, they charge £126.50

    wow, that really is a 'we don't want your business' price.

    I have an address in armagh , so I can get this delivered for £20, great deal especially since the Euro is so strong.

    Your well awake peter, I mean't herself will be bringing me to the ploughing, I'm gone its sstarting to get bright.

    BTW made he enquiry about the sportive and will need some info on cassettes etc for ordering,what would you guys and gurls recommend.

    I got one a few months back, and love it, brilliant frame for the money. It's easily as good as frames at twice the price (has the same forks as a frame my friend paid €1200 for). Ordered f+f and built it up with Centaur groupset and Easton EA90s, full build weighs 7.5kg and could easily shed a good bit of weight with lighter stem, bottle cages etc.

    I'm interested in getting a Ribble and I've been savouring the Ribble Road Carbon Carbon Sportive Racing Athena 11 Double for sometime.

    I'd be interested in hearing any views on it, particularly in relation to the other Ribbles. Also, would this be much of a step up from the Boardman Team Carbon?

    Do anyone else finds Ribbles adds in the magizines a bit missleading? They have the sportive from £873.95 with a deadly picture but there is nothing on it to say that the picture is the top version of it. Only that it says From £873.

    They've been doing this for a while. Its a good way to get you to look at their stuff though.
