Hi, selling my Ribble Bianco Large road bike with Dura-Ace/ Ultegra mix.
7 day auction ending 8.15pm Wednesday 3rd April
Pictures and details here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ribble-Bianc ... 3427277941
Suits 5'10" to 6'1" tall. 55cm (bb to top of seat tube). Top tube 56cm c-t-c.
9 speed chainset. 1.25" steerer.
The full geometry for this L 55cm (550mm) frame is here:
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... amp;uact=8
Frame and fork are made from Toray T700 and T800 carbon fibres.
I bought this new in 2013 and rode as a summer bike to 2015.
Frame 1170 gms. Fork 382 gms.
As seen in pictures, I disassembled it, fully cleaned everything and lovingly rebuilt it.
Never crashed.
Frame is custom hand-painted by myself with a subtle yellow highlight ('maillot jaune' yelow), the "sportive" lettering removed and the seatpost hand painted to match the frame. However the drive side chainstay has a few permanent spots of chain oil that got underneath the outer lacquer. Other than that it looks stunning on a sunny day.
Ride quality: I chose this frame for comfort and lightness (the budget could not include aero too). Total weight with decent wheels is 7.8kg- lighter than many on a club ride. But the comfort is where it really excels, as mentioned by these two reviews:
Cyclingweekly: "It is a fast ride indeed – the green shoots of fitness might be reappearing after a hard-frozen winter, but the Ribble felt much quicker round the test circuit than the other bikes (we rode the Ribble last) and the times confirmed it actually was faster under similar conditions.
The ride quality is completely different from that of the other bikes. The back end is much softer – it even had us checking for a slow puncture – but responsive when pedalling hard. It seems contradictory, but the fastest bike here is also the most comfortable."

Triradar: "The overall weight is very competitive but it’s the ride quality that really sets carbon apart from its aluminium competitors, even on this modestly priced model. The carbon offers good insulation from bigger bumps, and decent protection from roadbuzz and chatter in general. That said, a bit more padding in the bar tape would have been appreciated. The rear end does a very good job, and even with the oversize Deda seatpost you don’t suffer. Maybe those curved seatstays really do work after all.
The result is a smooth ride feel that belies the Ribble’s modest – for carbon – price. It may not major on all-out excitement on the road but once you get it up to speed on a bright, sunny day you’ll appreciate the extra comfort as the miles start to sail by unnoticed. This makes it great for sportives or any long rides, and the frame is so lightweight that with a better wheelset – this was the only real letdown for us – you could easily race on it."
