I rode a cheap Ribble carbon offering in Altea last year. It was a hire bike so it had seen a fair bit of work.
That being said, it was a pleasure to ride for four days and I couldn’t fault it. If I could have got it in my suitcase, I would have.
If Ribble had a bike in their current range that I liked the look of, I’d be trying to arrange a test ride for sure
