Hello all

For those who own an r872, or stealth as it was before, how do they fit?

I am looking at a large (54.5) but as I have very long legs I'm worried that the saddle-bar drop will be excessive as the front end seems low. I know I should be able to envisage this from the geometry but I'm also interested in real world experiences

Cheers

I'm resolutely average (5'10") and bought a M (50) and it fits really well, came with a shit load of spacers on the stem so you can adjust it how you want. But the guys at Ribble are happy to give advice.

It's a great bike. V happy with mine

5`8" here and went with a size small. Fits like a glove.

5'11" with short legs, and I'm not sure what size mine is! It's got a 54cm top tube I think though! I also run it slammed to get enough drop, and I think it's a fairly tall head tube so you should be ok with long legs.

Love the bike. Rides much better than the price would indicate.
Only whinge is that it has internal cable routing ... much prefer external cabling, especially for a bike that gets to ride in the wet quite often.
