ribble_4.pngRibble launch limited edition Giro D’Italia R872

Review: Ribble R872
Dealclincher: top deals on Giro-inspired pink kit
Ribble offer custom colour options on a wide range of their bikes, and the Giro-themed R872 is their latest custom creation (check out this team edition of the Aero 883). The R872 is usually available in matte black or silver, and the Giro version is predominantly a dark metallic grey that subtly fades into a jet black with a glistening finish, plus those flashes of pink.
You can get yourself one of the limited edition frames now with all sizes from 47cm to 55.5cm available, with full Shimano Ultegra R8000 mechanical or Di2 groupsets. They start from just £2,299 and the bike as configured in the main photo with Zipp 302 wheels and Deda finishing kit is £3,699. Head over to Ribble's website for more info.

He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

Shame it's only on the 872. Quite fancying an 883 Aero Disc at the moment but the magnitude of the charge for custom paintwork, which isn't really custom but a slightly broader choice, is disappointing.
Here's a less subtle clue:
363 Leach Place
Walton Summit Centre
Bamber Bridge
Preston
Lancashire
PR5 8AS
Now THIS is a Giro themed frame:
It is even the correct shade of pink.
I guess there was a batch of off shade pink triangle pattern forks that was going cheap?
Sit thee down and 'ave a gander at this 'ere load of tosh. Will you mek it reet Jack Sexty?
Honestly can’t think why I put ‘Yorkshire’, I’ve actually been to the Ribble Valley a few times! Blaming on Tour de Yorkshire talk in the office and Friday beers.
There’s a clue in the name.......
“The Yorkshire online bike brand...” I wonder if any of the riders on today’s Tour de Lancashire rode a prototype.
For some people, anywhere north of Watford must be Yorkshire or Scotland.
Gopping.
You're doing it on purpose now, aren't you?
Eh?
Have you got it yet?
Ill-considered pink spoldges on a grey bike do not evoke the thrill, history and beauty of the Giro.
