Better how?

Only thing that put me off was that it had a lot more reviews saying they were hard to fit or rubbish when on. The Cruds are cheaper so I might just give them a go anyway.
 
Help & Opinion on a : Ridley Compact Road Bike?

Hi,

Would appreciate your opinion on the RIDLEY COMPACT with Tiagra Group. Like the look of the 2011 model! does anyone have one? or know anything about them? Would value some feed-back on this bike.

Thanks

You did post last thing on Christmas Eve. Not sure if you noticed but the traffic on this thread was considerably lower, presumably because everyone was enjoying themselves...

I don't have one but I do like Ridleys; nice frames.

So yeah, I don't rate the Louis Garneau Sotchi much and I want my Gore Windstoppers back...

I found these and thought of you. After I bought some for me. I realise they're not cheap, but they were the ones I had before my spill and I missed them so and hadn't found them anywhere else. I do note one of the feedback says "product advertised turned out not to be available" so hope that doesn't turn out to be the case.

It's Christmas Mostyn! Go and have a life, check back in a few days and someone may have replied ;)

I have never ridden a Ridley, so I won't presume to give an opinion. You could try posting on the Bike Radar forums, where you're more likely to find someone who has one.

Dont be silly, what do you want us to do? Run out and buy a ridley compact and tell you what we think. We cant help it if none of us have any experience of the bike you asked about.
 
Hey everyone,

Just after some advice on my Wiggle shopping basket... is all this stuff ok for starting out on the commute to work. Live in Purley and cycle to Croydon and I've seen some terrible driving (and riding from cyclists) in the past so hoping the lighting I have will be sufficient for now.

Assume you have helmet, top/waterproof etc.

Have you got any padded shorts? Depends on the saddle you're using but you might be uncomfortable without (even with a relatively short commute).

Just a suggestion but you might want to put a couple of spare inner tubes on there - it's bad enough swapping tubes by the side of the road in the rain let alone fixing a puncture! IMO puncture repair kits are for use at home in the dry!
 
Doh ! How could I forget inner tubes, my mate told me to get the tubes, need to check what size I got as only used the bike once since got it. Got a helmet and a Berghaus rain jacket but really have not got a lot of money at the moment so was just going for essentials, it is only a 3 mile commute so not thinking the bum will get too destroyed for a month until next payday.

This my bike... ps the saddle has been adjusted since I took this pic.
