Quite a few of the semi internal routed (not through bar/stem/headset) bikes I've worked on don't have full length outer, outer weighs more than bare cable and we can't have that can we. There's stops in the holes in the frame and a guide at the BB like normal, just inside. Making a simple job...

Reminds me of the Sram T-type launch. Because everyone stops at least once a ride to jump up and down on their rear mech. 😁

It's long gone, it was a great bike though! I kinda want another Cannondale. I know the reputation but also don't care! 😁

Yeah, I agree, used them for a couple of years, definitely made a worthwhile difference. 👍 😁

But that's a Force 40+, so called because it forces you to swear 40+ times when you're setting it up! Actually the one example of a brake rocker that once set up properly makes a difference. It's all in the cam. Which the others don't have and I agree are pointless. 👍 😁

That looks like the compression ring from the top end of the headset not the crown race to me? 🤔

Hi, mines from the first year and is 1⅛". 👍 😁

Looks superb. 👍 😍 I'd very much like to try one to compare it with a Bontrager.

Here you go :) Edit: to start at the beginning https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/roberts-91-build-2-years-on-finished.464555/

:) I have one, it's a nice bike, well built and rides well. For some reason they fly under the radar though. Which is good in a way cos they're cheap. 👍 😁

Yeah, seemed to be the consensus last time it came up. :) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/not-hope-mtb.497285/

I think they know no one's nicking it. You could chew through that lock.

Yeah, I've bought several things over the last few years, reasonably priced, postage is always quick. Good all round really. :)

Sorted. 👍 Just need to add Di2 compatibility

Every time I see a Ribble I'm hit with a sudden urge to change the R to a W. The rear box thing, combined with a saddle with a pressure relief cut out, means you don't have to stop for a shit.
