JacksonHeightsOwn

does anybody know anyone with one?

what are they like?

im toying with the idea of getting the Gran Fondo, but ive actually seen one in person, so havent a clue what their like

they come fairly highly spec for the money, are they too good to be true?

Have Ribble sorted out their horrific shipping charges yet?

Ive seen the gran fondo and the nero in passing and they do look good, nice finish and design although have no idea what ther're owners think of them.
On the Delivery charges, I got a few things from them recently (wheels, tyres etc) altho the charge was 11euro it still worked out a little bit cheaper then all other main online shops. I also found the delivery prompt and quicker then the others. Ribble used a courier which took 2 days whereas stuff ive had free of delivery charge have come in the post and can be any no of days. Twice stuff has gone missing that way too.

As posted a few times before, the delivery charge for a complete bike was/is north of €130. So check before you spec.

apart from their legendary supply issues and poor after sales service (they seem to get more complaints than most)
you could always get the ferry over and pick it up (prob wouldnt cost you more than £130 once th current sh1t dies down)
