Gravel bike to preorder.

Carbon frame and fork, GRX, tubeless.

If Ribble don't get their ****ing act together and deliver the bike I ordered in May with a supposed three week delivery date (now mid August!) then u might be cancelling and buying this....

Are they going for the oompah-loompah market? The largest one is a full 5cm shorter than my bike 😳

592mm reach 581 stack looks pretty spot on for a large size gravel bike to me

Typo: 392 and 581. Mine’s 421 and 636… in both cases the jump from the large to my size (29 and 55mm) is bigger than the jump across their entire range (27 and 40mm)!

Looks like it. They don't list BB drop so hard to tell.

It's a 2018 gravel bike, i.e. a CX bike. Things have moved on since then if you want something to ride decent trails. Perfect for dry forest roads and paths & tight circuit racing on grass though.

I'd rather take the new alloy Boardman ADV 8.9 over that.
