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.
Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

In a previous thread someone actually had some figures. I was hoping someone else would remember, is all.

Road.cc reports that the race has reportedly been confirmed.
The 90,000 mile is a global average. They state around 27,000 for one solely recharged with renewable energy.

Agree with height. I read somewhere that most bike fits advise lower saddles, and that was certainly true for me, by a surprisingly long way.
