I was looking at that frame the other day. I don’t know which Taiwan company Ribble have sourced it from but it’s exactly the same (with a respray) as the Pedal Force RS2 which sells for $800

http://pedalforce.com/online/product_info.php?products_id=8420&osCsid=5ad6d712bfc49792a6d3dac9fae7e7f8

I really can’t believe that Ribble are doing this frame for the price they are and £1,000 for a Centaur equipped bike is an incredible buy IMHO.

I don’t think the geometry is that relaxed. I think it would be a good, fast road machine. If I had #1,000 to spend on a bike it woulld be a very, very serious contender.

Bike parts and bikes are going to go up in price when current UK stocks run out so I’d buy now.

so you think i should keep this bike in mind harry ?

I was looking at this in the pages of Cycling Weekly today in their advertisement, very, very nice.

No, I don’t think you should keep it in mind. Procrastination is the thief of time.

[mr-marty-martin]

would you say it’s better than then Ribble Dedacciai Nero Corsa with centuar, for £1000 ?

Yes, if it’s the same frame as the Pedalforce RS2 (which I’m 99.999 per cent certain it is) then I’d say it’s infinitely better than the Nero Corsa. But I won’t be buying one and I won’t be riding one so it doesn’t really matter which one I prefer does it?

Like Harry said……………….

“Procrastination is the thief of time”.

😆 😆

[mr-marty-martin]

i would buy it tonight f i had all the money sorted, but still need a couple of hundred quid….

hopefully i’ll sell my minimoto or trials bike soon

[mr-marty-martin]

the pedal force frame had a review in cycling weekly ( march the 5th one with the free ride shots, or gummy beers as im calling them)

it got a pritty good review, and yeh harry im very sure its the same as the ribble

i also think its the same as this one…

click on collection and go on the rp3, same as that…

It is the same frame. Definitely. Absolutely. No question. Without a doubt. For sure. Without question. The Fondriest is also the same.

I’ve never seen a bad review for the frame but it does make you wonder why it is so cheap. If Ribble can sell a bike for £1,000 with a £500 groupset on it and a decent set of wheels, how much did the frame cost them?

That said, for £1,000 it seems like a good buy.

[mr-marty-martin]

yeh, thats the question with all them isnt it…

but i bet they sell alot of them… and alot of ribble bikes all together

a mean planet x have had to put there bike up to £1200

a like the ribble a must say, and its got campag which i much prefur to shimano, even tho shimano is easyer tomaintain setup…

oh and those new hoods are realy nice…

ive sold ma onza so im going to order ma bike next week, once ma dad comes of holiday…

[mr-marty-martin]

well then, ive decided to order this one…

going to order it soon as my dad comes of his holidays… 😀
