I don’t know if it counts if it was my brother in law’s bike, but I would NOT recommend a Ridley (Fenix). I only rode it for a couple hours so feel free to disregard but the bike had no compliance at all, and offered no noticeable speed benefit. I have never enjoyed a ride less.

Might be a trait of Ridleys. I demoed a Ridley Dean for part of a season, and found it to have a very jarring ride.. The bike was beautiful, but my Cervelo P3 was much smoother.
