RIBBLE 365 Sportive Road Racing Bike – 10 speed. 105 Groupset
I’ve owned this bike from new and it is in great condition. If you want a Carbon bike without breaking the bank then buy this !! Size is Large, 55cm, I’m just under 6ft. Would suit anyone over 6ft but not smaller than 5’11 I would think.
Full Carbon Fibre frame and Shimano 105 10 speed group set make this a light bike and great value for money. Also has upgraded carbon seat post.
The original Ribble listing for this bike is as a bike for all year round use (hence 365) however I’m a fair weather cyclist and it has therefore only been ridden in the spring / summer or occasional autumn (fine day). It doesn’t get used in the wet unless caught in the odd shower.
It has the Sportive geometry so great for longer rides. It came with mudguards for winter use – I took them off as I didn’t like the look with them on, stored them in the shed – they are available if you want them and will be included…..bit scratched – I assume they are ok but cant vouch for them.
It’s fitted with a Shimano 105 compact chain set which has done less than 1000 miles (previously I was on the standard chain set until I realised the difference !)
Shimano 105 chain set, 105 front and rear derailleur and 105 shifters / brake levers
Brake callipers are Shimano (not 105), but were as supplied by Ribble (a lot of suppliers seen to skimp on the brake callipers. However they work perfectly
Rear cassette is 12-30. This may be Tiagra as I wanted that ratio for the hills around here
Frame
Carbon fibre in a lovely glossy black and blue paint job. The design is the type that you can see the carbon fibre weave pattern. Personally I think its in really good condition. The lacquer is just ‘bubbled’ in a few small places (barely noticeable) and a bit more on the chain stay – see picture. However this is still all fine – no broken blisters / chips etc. Minor paint flake by wheel drop outs.
Some minor cable rub marks – again barely noticeable. See pic.
However – This is being super critical / honest. On first look this looks like a pretty new frame.
Forks have variety of spacers to adjust height.
Bars and stem are Deda.
Recent service including :
New bar tape just fitted ready for sale (completely unused)
New brake blocks fitted front and rear (completely unused)
Indexing of gears
Wheels – Both true. Wheels are as originally supplied by Ribble. Ive removed the red/white stickers (if you see the stock photo) as they were looking tatty. Both are showing signs of wear but have many many miles left in them yet. They have been stored for the past 12-18 months as I was using a set of Ultegra wheels (happy to sell these to you separately for additional £70 – failing that I’ll list separately)
Mitchelin Lithion2 tyres – loads of wear left in them. 700×25
Saddle – fray marks / graze on both sides where it has been leant against a wall – see pic
No peddles supplied
Will be posted using parcel force and a proper sturdy cardboard bike box – hence £45 (box dimensions 149x83x23). If you want to arrange a cheaper courier then thats fine but at your own risk. Handlebars and wheels will be removed and packed within the box.
Collection is also ok . Examine the pics – if you want any more I can supply them.
Cheers…..its a great bike.
