The Ribble is a fine bike, nothing wrong with them or your other choices.

Just set your budget.

The big online places usually beat local dealers on price, but some locals will do a price match, which is how Luckypants got his MTB I think.

With mail order you'll have to do the setting up yourself, but not too difficult.

Halfords Boardman range are also well specc'd so don't discount them either + you can get 3% back via Qudco
