Might have been posted already, but didn't come up in a forum search.

Ribble carbon road bike for £800:

No idea about the quality of the spec vs price, but a decent reduction on Ribble's full price.

Back to pre COVID levels!

Not cycle related but Motorcycle related, Picked up a very good used BMW Rallye 3 jacket today off FB marketplace for a decent price, been after one for ages but the clowns on Fleabay are in a fantasy world with their pricing, and finding a black one in my size has been a challenge.

They‘re really comfortable and versatile (and waterproof) jacket, this recent weather has tested the capability of my current textiles.

Good morning
Maybe because the new owner has a) no experience of online retail and/or b) wants to make a break with the past approach?
I tend to wake up early, put the kettle on and have a quick browse with the iPhone, hardly an obscure make.

Sadly the new site shows the menu behind the scrolling content so it is extremely difficult to go anywhere.

The left image has Road and Gravel and View All in odd places as they are the menu items and the right image shows bikes road and the drop down arrows behind the Road Wheels. If you are patient you can scroll things and if you are lucky you can get to the menu.

I see that Fulcrum 900 disc brake wheels are up for £249, either they don't want to sell them or this is so that they can "reduce" them.

..... and let's not even go here,

in the bottom right it says both in In Stock - expect your item in 15 days and Out Of Stock.

I am confused by the £800 Ribble and if I were interested I would check what is going on.:smile: I press the Full Spec button

and all I got were details of the frame.

So has someone mucked up the listing and linked the spec to the frame only item or mucked up the desription and linked to the whole bike description and the £800 item is the frame only?

Its hard to tell from the price as Ribble do take the mickey with frame only pricing, £1,200 for a 725 frame with CF forks!

On my phone the full spec is listed at the bottom of the page, under the Cycle to Work info.

Good morning,
I bought this saddle
https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/selle-italia-flite-tm-manganese-bike-saddle
It’s harder than granite so it might not be for me.
Try one of these for a whole £2.99?

The wording may make you think that they are leather but they are not.

but don't almost buy one of the £799 Ribbles by accident!

I added one to the shopping cart when I was confused about frame only or whole bike and it was still there when I was about to checkout a couple of saddles/bbs.

After removing it, or so I thought it reappeared at the bottom!
