Who makes Ribble's bike frames?

Hi,
Does anyone know where Ribble get their frames from, do they make them themselves or import them?
Thanks

Not sure on the aluminium stuff,but I believe the carbon frames are generic stuff from Taiwan,painted to Ribbles spec.

Have seen a Unbranded frame in the classifieds(not on here ) that was identical to I think the Granfondo frame.

There are only a couple of manufacturers that actually make in house there frames, GIant being one of them, others are Subcontracted out ,same thing happens with electrical goods like TV's.

Must be good though as they always seem to do well in reviews.

The Ribble carbon frames are made by Dedacciai I believe.

Thanks for that. I've read the reviews, they are good. Plus they seem really quite popular around my neck of the woods. Ribble Cycles isn't too far from me so I was wondering if the were locally produced.

Only if you are in taiwan I think ?

Some of them are. Some of them aren't.

The Granfondo isn't a Deda, it's the same folks who make them for Pedalforce.

the gran fondo IS Deda

the sportive is the one that looks the same as the pedal force
