Ribble R872 owners help !

[gibgrth]

Hi was wondering if there were any other R872 owners out there could clarify if there frames have this concave dip (see pic) below their front derailleur? I'll be dammed but I have'nt noticed it before lol
Thanks!!

Its normal on lots of bikes, its meant to be there, allows for front mech travel

checked mine and it's the same. while we're on r872 discussions, beware of having the front mech cable too tight. i was chatting to someone who lent their r872 to a friend who had tightened the cable to such a degree that it was cutting into the frame at the bottom bracket

Hi Cheers for checking lol I can rest easy! Will check the cable also

Are they good bikes ,frames look good ,anyone had any problems ,cracks,welds ok etc

 

[alecstilleyedye]

very good and fast, depending on the build of course (don't get too cheap wheels or heavy groupsets)…
