Funny you should mention that. I have been looking at this on eBay. Not a lefty though.

mmmmmmm thats the ticket !!! Although maybe not the price.

Yeah, when I say I was looking at it I was looking at decal positioning and colour. But I didn't bother and went for the clean look. If I was to do it again I would grind off all the cable holders on the frame that I wasn't going to use before painting

Cyclescheme has come through!

I've just picked up my new Ribble Prime in flat black. Not had a ride yet cos the weather is pants.

Looks like this. ..

Shhh!

Not the carbon thoroughbred I was after, but it's a heck of a bike for the price.

Just back from my first ride on it and WOW!

I'd forgotten just how fast a road bike can be. The frame transfers the power so efficiently and the carbon fork damps the road buzz beautifully.

18 miles today in really windy conditions. I had 40mph along the Blackrod bypass with the wind behind me!

I can see myself spending a lot of time on this bike.

Excellent work, just wait till you climb back on a MTB, it will feel like you are pedalling through treacle! A feeling I expect to experience when I head to Llandegla on Saturday.
