For Sale: Ribble Nero RC Frame & Forks 54cm

Hi everyone, I'm selling my road frame and forks as I stupidly ordered the wrong size and can't return it. The frame is a 2011 Ribble Nero RC. Being carbon of course the frame is laterally stiff, vertically compliant ;-) pretty light too! Here's a link to the bike radar review . I loved the frame so much that I just ordered the size up! Its only done about 150 miles (yes it took me that long to realise it was too small) and has no discernible marks or scratches. As I'm sure you'll know these frames are designed and built for Ribble by Dedacciai so the quality of both ride and finish goes with out saying.

The frame is a 54cm Large (sloping geometry sizing) which equates to about a 56-57cm so will suit a rider of 5'8" to 6'0" (I'm 6'2" don't know what I was thinking! )

Full RRP for frame and forks is £720
Online price for frame and forks from Ribble is £580

I'm asking for £500 posted £480 Collected from Bournemouth or London

Note: This price does not include headset, bottom bracket or seat clamp.

Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Hey Chris. Is this still built up? I can't get on the Ribble site at the moment to check the geo.

Yes the bike is still complete.

Managed to get on the Ribble site now and it's gonna be too big for me I'm afraid. In case it helps anyone else, here is the geo for this frame:

Be careful using this sizing chart (this is what I did originally). When I can get on the website (it's messing around at the moment) they give an altered value by which to multiply your inseam measurement for their sloping top tube frames. I'm 6'2 suggesting that I would need the T54 Large. The thing is I have quite long legs and the seat-post isn't quite long enough to get a comfortable and efficient pedal stroke with this frame. This also means there is a TT'esque difference between seat and bar height even after flipping the stem which is very uncomfortable on anything over 50 miles. If you are worried about fit use a combination of the frame size recommendations above and inseam measurement.

Also note that it says scuro frame-size C to Top not Nero RC whether this is just a typo or these are actually the scuro measurements I'm not sure, I only just noticed it.

Just noticed some light marks on the head tube from the cables, nothing too major here's a picture.

Open to offers really don't want to have to chuck it on ebay.
