Ridgeback World Tour - 54cm - £300
Collection in SE1 much preferred, postage at your cost (£30) - cash or PayPal G&S.
A well loved and much used Ridgeback touring bike. An excellent first touring bike capable of a bit of mixed surface with decent clearances. Went all the way from London to Luxembourg (and more) without a hiccup.
Alumiumn frame with steel fork (lowrider capable), 3x8 drivetrain (Acera rear derailleur, Claris front derailleur, Claris brifters), Tektro cantis and M520 SPDs (you can leave these out for £15 less). Includes two bottle cages, bell, SKS mudguards and Panaracer Tourguard Plus tyres (rrp £30 each). Handlebar tape is Tortec Super Comfort which is plush AF.
Gears are serviceable and the frame is showing the touring life - rubbed paint, chips, scratches etc. However, there are no major dents or dings. One final note: it was bought as crash damaged - I replaced fork and front wheel (M:Part fork & Mavic A119 rim). Frame checked out by a shop pre-build (Balfes Kennington).
