Evening all..
Anyone here riding one of these frames?

Any feedback, particularly on sizing much appreciated.

I was looking at one of these myself so interested to hear reports also.

I talked to Ribble customer service today and they could not have been more helpful.

My biggest issue is that at 6' 0 and a tad I am smack in the middle of the 52.5 and the 54.5

I'm 5'10 so I guess I'd be looking at a 52.5.

Although I've an odd shape short legs long torso so might get a proper bike fit before buying.

Did they give a lead time or are they in stock ready to ship?

52.5 sounds right. Thats at the bottom end of the 52.5

Shipping time of up to 2 weeks from order.

15 euro delivery.

He strongly hinted to hold off until the UK Bank Holiday this weekend as there "might" be a special discount offer:rolleyes:

The fella was a great help with component choice (I have a gruppo and wheelset from before) and hints as regards BB30 compatability etc.

Frame ships with the seat clamp, so dont order another as well as if you order the headset, they will fit that prior to shipment.

He went as far as pulling up the specs of my current bike and doing his best to match the measurements-unfortunately, I'm still none the wiser...The headtube on the 52.5 is shorter than my Colnago so would be more aggresive-the rest of the frame looks right...

Would really love to see one up close and judge from that

I'm over in England with work in a couple of weeks might have to make a detour to the warehouse showroom.

Thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone have one of these I could have a look at, particularly for sizing? Im 6.0 and the calculator recommends the largest size 54.5, but looking at the geometry, I think the 52.5 might suit me better.

Also, does anyone know what their complete bike weighs?

I pulled the trigger on this frame a few weeks back and it is a beaut..

I am 6'1 and I went for the 52.5 based on my previous fitting with Aidan Hammond.

It is a VERY light frame and the only issue I have had is a certain amount of road buzz that I am trying to isolate.

It really is a beautifully finished frame-with the stealth finish it is a real eye catcher-very comfortable geometry and a great response when you work it hard..

I have read online that it is possible to build this bike below 6.5kg-mine is just over 7.2kg with Fulcrum Racing 5's and a Campy groupset from over 8 yrs ago-ie it is easily achieved to build a sub 7kg build.

Feel free to contact me and you can try mine for size. When I have it worked out, I will write a review here.

Quite surprising now owning one just how many Ribble bikes I know see out and about...
