Ribble R9 mountain bike

[Thurso]

Hi,
I bought this Ribble R9, just looking to find out how old it is or any info. It has 26 " wheels and a carbon frame. I contacted Ribble and they had no records. I cant see any for sale to work out from that either. Regardless it is a lovely looking bike and nice to ride.

Definitely younger than the 1997 cut off for this forum.

Looks like 10sp xt rear mech, I'd guess 2010 plus.

Cheers, sorry just realised I posted in the wrong thread. Thanks for the info.

Ribble said it was due to age they did not have records, have heard they did not keep the best records. Wil have another look around but it is a good spec xt throughout. Managed to find a rear derailleur hanger which was a worry if it got damaged.

ah yes, the great record cull of 2018 and the GDPR regulations. A time when a lot of small companies panicked and deleted all records older than 5 years. Oh what time it was to be alive.
