I have been thinking about the Ribble CGR steel or alu. Among all the other usual things I want it for winter road riding. My head has been turned by the Niner RLT 9 Steel. Would it be daft to spend much more than the Ribble on that? Is there going to an advantage beside the looks, particularly for using as a road bike? It has a press fit bottom bracket, probably a point against it.
Have got an RLT9 Steel. Use it for general off-road and CX and it has been great. No issues with the press fit (so far). But I agree its a big premium for what it is, mine was NOS and much less than the list price, plus its 62cm and there are not many similar frames in that size.
