Re: coolerking ridgeback That definitely looks a lot like the Ridgeback Cooler King I have! Also had mine 20+ years. I bought mine for about £400 new. It still gets used, though not as much as some of my other bikes. The last big ride it did was the Kennet & Avon canal, about 80 miles in...

I just had a rummage around for pictures of both the Dirty Harry and the Nice Guy Eddie - they certainly all seem to be the same family as the Cooler King. I quite like the two-tone paint jobs.

Its very short so results in a fairly upright position. It was more comfortable over the 80 miles Bath to Reading than my old 2005 Trek 4300. Definitely influenced by those Marins - almost a copy at the rear!

I have a Ridgeback Cooler King. Bought it in 1998, new, for ~£400. As mentioned in another tread about this, it's still going strong. It's a bit like riding on an old sofa compared with newer bikes. Only changes made are replacement front disc and calipers and a rear tyre. The front tyre is the...

Hiya, I've posted a few replies about this bike in other threads: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=220727 viewtopic.php?f=41&t=370431 I've owned one from new, bought in 1998. It's still going and totally reliable. Only changes have been rear tyre and front brake (rotor and calipers).

Finally back to follow up on this post. As already stated, I have a Ridgeback Cooler King. I bought it back in 1998 for ~£400. The only things I've changed since new are new front brake disc & calipers and the rear tyre. It's still going strong; I did Bath to Reading on it a couple of years...

I own a RidgeBack Cooler King. I had it from new in 1998. The front brake cable has perished where it has been in storage but other than that it is sound. Certainly an odd bike but I had some great times on it. I'll post a picture later!
