I ordered a new frame and bits from Ribble yesterday. How long does it normally take to arrive from them?
Can we fix it?
Yes we can!

    I got some inner tubes and bottles delivered next day this week, but frames/bikes seem to take ages

    Ordered groupset, wheels, and few other bits on a Sunday night, arrived that Tuesday morning. Ordered a pump, and a couple of bottles took a week, so a bit hit and miss.
    It does say on their site though to allow longer for some items
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    to be fair ribble are up front with delays on this bike - at least 4 weeks from what I hear.

    I always ask the lead time - and make this a condition of the order.

    It's not a complete build but just a frame and parts.

    Yes we can!

    Probably best to ring them tonorrow and ask if it's urgent (although to be honest if I need anything in a rush I don't use Ribble)

    Due to exceptional demand all Sportive bikes/frames ordered on or after April 29th will not be delivered until the end of June 09

    This also seems to apply to other frames/sizes as well.
