How about a Ribble

wyattlad

Looking at the usual suspects for a sportive bike, but would be nice to consider something a bit different. Has anyone any opinoins or experience of the Ribble Deda scuro hcr or Deda ribelle.

If I werew in the market for one of these I'd favour one without Ribble's (or anyone elses) stickers on it. Keep an eye on Merlin as they stock them, but they appear to get snapped up quickly:

I'd also ring a few bike shops in Europe to see if they can be obtained much cheaper. They probably cost a tenner at the factory gate in Taiwan, so I would think think that there are bargains to be had somewhere.
