This was bought by my father from Ribble Cycles around 1992 from memory.
It is now in my ownership and l need rid as it is too large for me.It has the following spec.
Reynolds 653 frame and fork.
Size is 59 ctt set tube, 57 top tube ctc.
It has some very nice details typical of Ribble frames of this era - internally routed rare brake cable, cast rear brake bridge, fully sloping fork crown.
Campagnolo Athena 8 speed groupset comprising:
32 hole Hubs
Headset
Chainset
Bottom Bracket
Rear mech
front mech
8 speed indexed shifters (these maybe better than Athena)
8 speed cassette and chain
Aerodynamic pedals with toe clips and straps
Original side pull calipers upgraded to Campagnolo Daytona dual pivot
Mavic Open 4CD 32 rims
Campagnolo Record brake levers
Rolls saddle
Cinelli XA stem
Cinelli CriteriumI have fitted the following new items
Fizik Bar tape
Michelin Pro 3 Race Tyres 23mm
Gear and brake Campagnolo ultra shift cablesIt has been very lightly used over it’s lifetime as evidenced by a nearly complete lack of wear on the rim braking surface.
There are a few light marks here and there and a small amount of surface rush at the headset insertion point ton the lower race.
Some of the chromed bolts have surface rust on.
The quick release skewers have the worst of this.
The paint job is a bright metallic red with an almost florescent glow to it.
It wasn’t applied very evenly so some areas are a bit thin.
Other than that it is remarkable condition.
I am asking £350 for this.
Pick up in SE6 Catford.

Thanks for your response.
I should have made it clearer l am looking at the two speed derailleur only option here so no hub gear attached.
Looking at the spec document for 2 spd derailleur the outer cog should be at 3.1mm and inner cog at 1.8mm.
Does this mean 1/8” outer and 3/32” inner as the listings are in mm not inches?
I have ordered a standard 13 / 16 to see what l am supposed to be working towards then go from there.
