Ridley Noah Pro ISP 1120A

This is just a teaser of what will be!

I collected everything last weekend and had a terrifying journey on the London Overground with the Frame and FFWD F6-R wheelset. A particularly large pregnant woman with a rather large derriere rested it against the boxed frame! God help me!

I spent 30 minutes looking at her backside resting on my boxed frame, wearing a desperate look on my face, before realising everybody else was looking at me and wondering what kind of pervert stares at a pregnant woman's backside!

Thankfully, we all arrived in one piece and I trust my fat-bottomed, pregnant friend will have a safe birth when the time comes, wherever she may be.

Because winter is approaching, and I'm in no fit state to do justice to this bike, she will not be built up until, spring. This pic will sit on my cupboard wall and serve as motivation to get into serious shape over winter.

It's been 2 and a bit years of saving up money, selling biking bits and waiting...and very great thanks to a close friend who sourced it for me in the first place.

Looks really good! I love the look of the Noah and those wheels match it perfectly.

How are you going to manage not to build it before the Spring though? I'd never have the self control not to get riding it asap!

Thanks Guys!

I have to use it as motivation for working hard though this winter. We has a few family tragedies this year, and i got very little riding in, so I need to get into shape. Looking at this will, hopefully, drive me on through those iffy winter's days when you just want to stay indoors or don't fancy sweating on the turbo!

I'm cracking as I type...might get it done at Christmas!!!!!

You won't be able to resist until Spring will you.Have it built for Christmas,the weather can't be any worse than it has been so far can it :roll:

Why the wait? I don't understand. Build it now!

Gabriel1959...I'm using it as motivation. If it gets built now, I'll potter about on it like the overweight middled-aged man I am! Seriously though, I really had a bad year for various reasons and need to get back into shape for racing and TTs. Knowing this is waiting will motivate me!

Fatini999...It has to be, I'm just under 6ft 4!!! Having said that, I've a really close friend who's a bit taller and he rides a Look that smaller than this. Horses for courses I guess. All my bikes are clydesdale sized monsters!
