  • that is a sweet frame dogs, someone will get a bargain there.

  • waaaah, I wish I was taller - I had a look at this yesterday and it's a beauty. If it's your size, buy it IMMEDIATELY. You won't regret it...

  • Geoffrey Butler - an early ripoff of the great Claude Butler marque? ;-)
    Nice summer rims / tyres btw.

  • A bargain not to be missed! £€$

  • dogs is that a white chain? Any clue as to where I could pick one up?

  • ahhh!

  • fc9k dogs is that a white chain? Any clue as to where I could pick one up?

    KMC cool chain from states £12 (from people who sell tuff's), or steal one off a london langster.

  • I see you've been doing your homework on how to take bike pix!
    Driveside - check
    cranks parallel to seattube - check
    pedals rightside up - check

    I give you an 8 out of 10.
    Why didn't you line up the labels on the tires with the valve?

    Oh, and Rob's dent is on the seattube right? not the downtube. I'm fairly sure the seattube takes less stress so it's not as critical as if it was the downtube.

  • haha, my other bikes i line it all up, it was only for polo y'day though. yep on seat tube, will change ;)

  • more pics



  • how big is your thumb in that picture? could you show it with somethign else to give a sense of scale?

  • scoober how big is your thumb in that picture? could you show it with somethign else to give a sense of scale?

    my nail is 1.5cm wide. it is under the top tube, so you hardly notice it and it is purely cosmetic. i'll try to find another angle where you can see it.

  • i had a little ride on it yesterday
    really is lovely looking bike
    my size too
    i enjoyed the chopped tash bars as well

  • theres no doubt that its a nice frame.....oh if i had the money :)

  • is good for riding backwards, i enjoyed my turn.

  • I wannit I wannit I wannit!
    (But it looks an awful lot like one of mine, and the lady will actually kill me if I brought that home...)

  • I have a friend who only buys black bikes, because his girlfriend has no interest at all and just doesn't register when there's a new one - there's still just a load of black bikes in the house...

    If you're lucky, one red bike will be the same as another.

    If your good lady is more switched on, you could be in trouble...

    Seriously, someone please give this a good home, it's amazing. I've been considering hanging weights off my legs to make them fit it, but I don't think it'll work

  • man that´s a nice bike, wish I had the cash for that

  • It's almost my size.. but do I need another bike? Do i fsck!

  • Sano

    its all about the 650Cs or maybe the 24s

  • My flat's small, so her wonderful self is pretty likely to spot that the lettering "RIBBLE" has mysteriously become "GEOFFREY BUTLER". That said, if it's still there come Feb 1st, then I might just cave in. (Still recovering from Christmas, and of course it's tax deadline soon... Boo!)

    And it just had to be almost the perfect bloody size, didn't it. Bollocks.

  • Dogsballs, i will buy this off you...

    frames looks very tasty, just what i've been looking for and perfect size too.

    give us a bell...

  • bah! an hour too late - I would've almost defintely had that. That's what happens when you spend your evening trying to fix the plumbing.

  • red bikes are faster. really digging that type on the seat tube too. if only it's my size dammit.
