Yes I know they are still trading( massive advert in the comic each week)
Id have thought though that Ribble would have re opened a shop mind. Warehouse s okay but they must be missing out on some buisness.
I think though that they have a very loyal band of customers as lots of riders up there have that blue winter training bike that they have on offer each year for 40 quid. Err I know at least one forumitette that owns one or maybe three of those.
Be interesting if she would have purchased that bike if no shop was there at the time.?
AL did they have the shop when you purchased yours.
The Ribble bikes are even making a mark down here
I mean this is Raleigh country and Mercian
They will be offering a free hot pot with there frames next![]()
They did indeed.
I finished uni on a friday at dinner time, walked the mile or so to the shop...got measured up etc etc.
Then got a phone call telling me the shop had shut and i had to pick it up at the new place on the industrial estate.
Worked out better for me actually.![]()
RU up for the Tuesday ride Al? Very steady and social and I will be on the old iron with Carradice pannier! Going to go gentle as 1st club summer run same night which is usually 10 miles which I will be attending.
Ive already promised my cousin i'll go and play erm....golf with him on tuesday.
Ive finish uni at the end of may so i'll be able to come whenever after and join then!
I fancy going up the trough sometime this summer, it looks a pure beast.
I dont know if i have the wrong set up for big hills though....is there a way of telling what my number thingy is...sure its 19/ something.![]()

GOLF???? Al, between you and Amex it is getting a bit desperate![]()
Trough is a steady climb Al. Nice loop from A6 side round to Chipping, Longridge and back to A6 - give that Em a nudge too and get her to oil her chain!
