Ribble Reynolds 525

Having done a winter already with the Di2 and having a failure of the battery mount I've decided that a 2nd (3rd but dont tell the Mrs) will be handy for evening/weekend wet rides.
Has anyone had any experiences with the Ribble reynolds 525- I would spec it up to have 10 speed Tiagra and better wheels etc. I quite like the idea of a steel bike in the fleet and it looks like a solid ride.
I was looking at the Canyon Roadlite but it's sold out so alternatives must be found.
Thoughts? Got about £800-850 to spend.

If you fancy steel UK Bikes Depot have the Tiagra specced Genesis Equilibrium 10 down to £700:

I think you can only get 23mm tyres on the Ribble.
The Genesis looks like the better frame.0 -

Ordered one of these frames myself last week to build up as a winter bike. From what I could gather, it's pretty much the same frame as the blue winter/audax one but obviously steel instead of alu. Therefore, clearance should be the same, i.e. 23's will fit, some 25's will whereas others won't. I've bought a set of Vittoria Rubino 25c tyres for it, hoping they will fit but if not, they were £18 for the pair so it's not a huge loss.
The Genesis looks a good deal for a winter bike though, better clearance for tyres. The Ribble will be faster though, it's red

Green is going to clash with my kit terribly.0

Could always upgrade to the red Equilibrium 20 for another £200... or the polished Equilibrium Ti for an extra £1000!Scotty-Gee wrote:Green is going to clash with my kit terribly.0
