Ridley Cross Bikes

[EmbroJames]

Still pinching myself that we have such kick-ass cross bikes this year. ouch!

Pictured here, Ridley X-Fire cross bike with Embrocation Cycling Journal team paint scheme. Just arrived a few weeks ago and have been having a ton of fun on them since.

On mine I'm running:
Ultegra 6700 group with Dura Ace 7800 crankset
Avid Shorty 6 brakes
Reynolds DV46T UL Wheelset
Tufo Flexus Primus tubular tires
Team Edition Fizik Tundra Saddle and matching bar tape
PRO Vibe 7S Stem
Reynolds Ouzo Pro Anatomic Bar
Race Face Evolve XC Seatpost
Shimano XT Pedals

Other guys are running different wheels and component groups, but we're all on the X-Fires and the Fizik saddles.

I've already done rude things to your bikes in my mind. Thanks for more pics.

I should have had a Ridley by now but...

With this in mind we will therefore be unable to fulfill your oorder this time and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

There are a few of those out here in Stumptown, and they are indeed hot.

Going to jump in on this thread...I have been waiting for a nice day to snap some pics of my new Crossbow. The frame was purchased from Jerk(thanks Craig!), the fit and build was done by my new friends at Two Wheel Tango in Ann Arbor. Jess is top notch in the fit department and Al did a great job on the wheels and bike. This upcoming year will be my first time racing 'cross but I am really looking forward to it. Some details on the bike:

10sp Campy Veloce group
FSA canti brakes
FSA SLK Light 50/34 cranks
OC stem, bars(both from E-Richie), and seatpost
NOS Campy Omega 36h clincher rims
Campy Record hubs
Wheelsmith spokes
Michelin Jet tires
Regal Team saddle

Now it's time to get it dirty. Cheers!

Here's my Crossbow -- also a Salonista deal from Jerk, a few years ago.

It may soon be on the block (purging a bit in anticipation of a move) ... watch the Classifieds.
