    6' 4''

    When i bought it i got it with a 120mm stem. Since then i've had a 100mm and have finally settled on 110mm.

    I find it to be a nice fit and imagine it would be perfect for anyone 6' and over.

    I think its an amazing bike for the money and looks wise it knocks the socks off the planet x.

    looks the biz would rather have one than the planet x i think but when i asked there is a 5 week wait for new builds which puts me off ordering a bit.

    I am in the market for a new bike and will probably get a Ribble Sportive. The CSN carbon wheelset looks fantastic but from what i can tell not many people opt for these. Can someone tell me why this is please?

    I've just bought one of these frames and I'm in the process of buying parts.

    I was slightly bemused to find that there was no braze on for the front mech.

    I'll start a thread when it's ready.
    Ribble Sportive custom build 14.9lbs.

    If it's got no braze on just use a band on front mech.....
