Damn good looking out. I didn’t know that. I guess I have to wrap it up or cover it somehow… or pack butyl
Beautiful bike but you need to cut that steerer
Nice! - what wheels are those?
I got bored waiting for my Kanzo Fast and ended up with my second choice which was the 3t exploro racemax - loving the 3T but every time I see one of these Ridleys I worry I made the wrong choice.
Thanks!
The wheels are Nextie 45AGX, they are pretty awesome and super wide. I was looking at a aspero, addict and this and ended up with the Kanzo. I will say that I did have some problems with the bike at the beginning but competitive helped take care of me and some machine work later the bike is solid.
The bike started its life with AXS Red, but ironically I removed it for the lighter Force mechanical build and also with adventure racing a $150 rear derailleur getting ripped off sounded better to me.
What size frame is that? Such a great looking bike…and 16.5 lbs
Thanks!
The frame is a Medium which I guess in Belgium talk is 56 haha
57 isn’t it? It’s part of the reason I like ridley - i’m always between a 56 and 58 on other brands.
Possibly,
It really depends on how you “interpret” the bike with the top tube. I used the geometry geeks when looking at the size. I am only 5’9 but really didn’t want a small
Props for the PBR can holding it upright
Hahaha! Thanks!
I put it in as an Easter Egg!
My standard bike - Specialized Tarmac Expert 2016. Nothing fancy but a decent all round bike. I have since replaced the wheels with higher spoke count variants due to the dire state of the UK roads. Also put a longer Ultegra derailleur on and an 11-32 to cope with the many 15-20% climbs around my parts
My ‘I need to be at my destination yesterday’ bike - M5 Carbon High Racer recumbent. CdA on the M5 recumbent when properly optimised is about 0.165. That’s with the standard wheels shown. Allows even a near-50 year old slighty asthmatic such as myself to wind up some younger riders on Strava
The recumbent bike looks both awesome and scary in equal measure
Which part of the Uk are you based?
South Scotland, in the Borders region. Fabulous quiet hilly back roads in all directions but not smooth tarmac. The m5 is a no-compromise speed machine which is amazingly comfortable but does take a bit (lot) of getting used to.
