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.

They have changed a fair bit haven't they. I had a modern Rockhopper a few years back. I was looking for an alloy frame with more old school geometry and a 135 qr rear end. Ended up being cheaper to buy an entry level Rockhopper and bin all the parts than buy an equivalent frame. It was 1800g...

Thanks. 👍 😁

Thanks Adrian, it's come out pretty good I think. :)

Finally got this one where I want it, for the moment at least. 👍 😁 ESP 9.0 mech and shifters, Altek levers, got the inner ring spacers sorted, changed the fork to a 63mm travel 96 version which got rid of the canti stop. And finally a Bontrager saddle. 👍 😁

Nearly 13 years since the last post in this thread. Can't be far off a thread resurrection record! :)

Rockshox Quadra 21R. They cost £280, which was (still is!) a lot of money for 16 year old me. They were yellow so could be mistaken for a £600 Judy at 300 yards. I was expecting motorcycle style suspension, that's not what I got. I think it was my first MTB purchase that was disappointing. Still...

Ooooh!! That's a bit special. 😍 Not that any of your others aren't but I'll look forward to seeing this come together. 👍 😁

I think 'best' is subjective. People want different things. We don't stock anything bar a few consumables. Our average bike sale is well over £5k, all custom built. We don't touch the E part of E-bikes but will repair (at least try to) anything else. I'm in my element when something retro comes...

Err..... Joking. What way you run your brakes doesn't bother me one bit. There is no 'correct'. I'm highly unlikely to buy a Hardrock. Even in non Coco guise. :)

Never mind the clown aesthetics, it's in the UK and the brakes are set up the wrong way round. I was seriously contemplating it but that's killed it. :)

April 15th 2042. Incidentally the exact same day I'll be recognised as the rightful ruler of the known universe. It was foretold in the tea leaves by Mystic Meg. Unfortunately I must state that when this comes to fruition I shall be ordering the complete and total annihilation of all carbon...

That's looking damn fine! 👍 😁
