I'm seriously considering a Ribble CGR AL https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-cgr-al/, This will be my main bike: mainly for commuting - 8 miles each way inc some track medium hills (Edinburgh) - but a bit of fun at weekends.
I'm torn between the Apex 1x (£1199) and the 105 (£1399) builds. Ive never ridden a SRAM equipped bike and never owned a Shimanoed road bike (Campag and fixiebiek only for me)
What does the forum think? 105 worth the extra 200? Should I look elsewhere? (Triban 520, PX London Rd, Merlin ROC 105, Canyon Grail AL, Arkose D3 all shortlisted but note quite feeling the love)
