So when I discovered that my titanium frame had cracked (out of warranty) I knew straight away what I'd replace it with. And with the R7000/105-equipped version having £100 knocked off it in the Summer Sale into the shopping cart it went. Not that it saved me any money, because early in the 3 week wait while it reached the front of the build queue I was offered the chance to upgrade the aluminium finishing kit to some nicer carbon components at a buy 2, get 3rd free "discount," which added more than the initial saving to the final cost.
It's a lovely bike, and handles really well in the dry. There have been a couple of times in wet, gusty conditions where the front end has felt a bit sketchy, but this may be due to the tyres/wheels, or perhaps even the fairly substantial front mud flap. The upgraded Level 3 aero carbon handlebar was well worth the extra spend. The R7000 front shifting actually feels lighter than the Ultegra/R8000 on my broken bike, and although the rear shifting is slightly heavier it's still very smooth. It took a few rides for the brake pads/discs to bed in completely, but everything's good in the stopping department now. I did have to tweak the cable tension on both the front and rear mechs in the first week of use - again not unexpected, and something I'm easily capable of doing myself.
How good is this bike...? Well I've since received a replacement for my broken titanium frame, but am finding myself in no real rush to build it back up again. Dry commutes, occasional wet commutes, training rides, Club Sunday rides - my Ribble still brings a smile to my face. It does everything I could expect of it, and I certainly won't be doing it the disservice of referring to it as my "spare" bike.
