Ribble 653 buy

[frugalracer]

Here's my latest bike - a Reynolds 653 Ribble

Really nice bouncy frame.

It came with 8-speed Mirage and I've adjusted this and it's now shifting quite nicely.

Had some old worn spds so I've just slapped on some rat traps for now.

Might go for a 90 or 80mm stem as it's just just a touch reachy on the hoods for my tastes. I have a quill adapter and suitable stems to play with although would prefer to get a quill.

Paint ork looks rather nice condition ...
use the quill adapter to get the "comfy" length then look out for a nice quill to match that - job done

Re:

Yes, the paint is pretty stellar - looks like a relatively low mileage bike. If I can find a goodish match a teeny bit of touch-up would fix the handful of chips.

nice piece of kit that.

Re:

Really pleased with it. And not bad for £175 give that's it's all in good working order.
