@Elybazza61 I think
My missus has got a custom build Ridley Liz carbon. Built by Carb Cycles, in Barnstaple, to a slightly higher spec than the standard 105 version.
She loves it to bits.

Picked one up on Saturday, about to head out on it.
I've had a Fenix for about 15 months which has now been relegated to my wet weather bike after a took the plunge on a propel in the sale.
Really nice bike, comfortable and hasn't missed a beat although I'm considering a disc brake carbon ride of some sort to replace it soon

Which model did you get?
I have never followed CX, but interesting that they are so much bigger in that area of cycling.
I looked at a Fenix in the shop, whilst waiting for my bike fit. Very nice looking bike too.

Fenix SL, Team Edition colour Ultegra groupset. It rides like a dream, accelerates well, holds speed well and floats over all but the worst roads, 50km and it barely feels like i pedalled at all. Love it.

Belgian company, didn't CX start in Belgium? Hence Ridley big in CX?

Might have a couple
although one is for sale now.Main bike is a 2013 Helium SL so same frame as the pro's used to ride(SLX now).Got it as a frameset at a good price as it was an old colour scheme.
Now runs Dura-Ace 9000 with either Hunt race-aero wide tubeless or Winspace carbon tubular(chinese rim on DT Swiss hubs) wheels.
Just changed the stem and bars to Deda Superleggera carbon and a 110 Superhero stem;not done the intrenal cable routing on the bars though as it will mean re-cabling the whole bike's internal set-up,will prob do it when I get the C-Bear ceramic bb fitted.
It's an absolute joy to ride;fly's up any climbs(depending on the rider
),comfy and handles rough fenland roads too.A pic with the old bars on(apologies for the shitty saddle bag);
And one from last year with the carbon tub wheels;
And this is the Icarus which is for sale;
Now with a mix of 10-speed 105,Sora chainset and Ultegra 6700 brakes(ie not the latest);Zonda wheels are now on the other half's Liv and the wheels on that now on this.
Be sad to see it go but I'm downsizing a bit and a new project is underway to replace this and the Planet X XLS.
