Any others out there ridin a Ridley?
No matter where i go or how many different groups i ride with, i never seem to find another person riding a Ridley. post up what you got!
This is my little bugger. '14 fenix al1. I went through a lengthy internal struggle over whether to go with the aluminum frame or carbon. Aluminum won for the type of roads i have to ride on here in norfolk, va. I love it and now find myself daydreaming over noahs as a future invesment

I almost bought a Carbon Fenix but I didn't really want the Sram setup that was on it.. It was a great riding bike though.

2013 X-Bow - my 1st road/CX bike after riding hybrid for 10+ years.
Have this Ridley for about 2 months now, put almost 600 miles on it, riding paved trail for now.
(the pic is from the store - the day I picked it up)

My buddy just got one. He thinks the bike bike pedals itself. But he's coming off an old Mondonico steel bike from the mid 70s.

Here's mine... Just built this up. 2013 Orion with a mash-up of components. Love the ride; fares favorably to my Scott CR1. Nice balance of handling and comfort. Great to know there's strong Ridley representation out there!

I used to race a noah, but unfortunately Ridley's warranty service was less than ideal on two different occasions so i quickly moved on.
I really loved the noah, thing was amazing in every situation.

The De Rosa is long gone and have gone N-1 since. But I've been enjoying every second on this bike each time I get on it on the road.

On an X-Fire Ultegra, 2013. Loving it -- using it as a road bike, rather than a cross but I can mount up wider tyres.

What do you mean OP, you chose aluminum for the type of roads you ride? They are that smooth that aluminum will be comfortable enough? Or did you more likely mean you are afraid the rough roads would shake a carbon frame apart? You've got me intrigued.
