Well as Ribble have balls up my new frame order and no longer have the frame I ordered available and have offered me an alternative I dont particularly want.

Are there any other companies like Ribble that produce good value road frames, forks and sell components?

Thanks

Condor Cycles in London.

I bought a bike from them and would definitely recommend them. They've got a huge range and you can spec a bike up with whatever components you like rather than being restricted to any of their suggested bike packages.



Please don't tell the Hoxton fixie brigade but I've been known to ride my Condor without any Rapha clothing whatsoever. Sacrilege I know.

I would think Planet X would be the obvious option.

+1 on Canyon.

For components there are loads of choices. For groupsets I use shinybikes and merlin.

One of my mates bought a Guerciotti frame from them - gorgeous!

Planet-X have become much more expensive recently. Maybe it's the time of year.
