    Looks like we're taking over the place! Looks nice mate. Don't think you're going to get told off about your handlebars like us other two did!

    I've just ordered one. Will put pictures n here when it arrives. What size frame have you gone for? And inside leg and overall height? I'm 5'10" with 81cm leg. I've ordered 50cm. I have a 56cm Spesh Tarmac.

    Look nice by the way!

  • Hi guys just a question on sizing please?

    I am interested into getting a R872 too. My height is around 5'8.4", when I sent a mail to Ribble the sales replied and said I should get a 50cm. I am using a 53cm road bike and tried 54cm with bike fitters which proves also a good fit.

    So does that mean that this R872 is quite a huge frame compared to normal ones?

    I'm exactly the same height mate. 50cm is perfect size. The 50cm is because the frame has a sloping top tube meaning a shorter seat tube.
