I purchased my Ribble CGR AL online just based on a few good reviews.
I have to admit that in reality that bike looks event better than in pictures. The frame is quality made, looks like a premium bike!
Coming from a hybrid bike (suspension fork) and mostly backroad riding I specked it as gravel bike, with Aksium Allroad wheels with fat 45 mm WTB Riddler tyres and a flared handle bar. I'm 182cm height and took a 90mm stem, which was a right choice for me (standard 110mm stem would have been a bit too long for my liking).
On my first ride I took it on various terrain, mostly gravel, forest roads, including my beloved local MTB style single tracks. The bike handled amazingly well! I would say better than my previous suspension fork hybrid.
The handling is stable, but not sluggish and the bike accelerated very fast. Pure joy to ride!
I have to admit that I am planning to do a few adjustments in the future – put a slightly wider handlebar (a pity Ribble only provides 42 cm flared bar option…. Having a 46 or even 48 cm option to choose for even more control on steep single tracks and bikepacking would be useful for some users (like me).
Secondly, I feel gearing is a bit too high for my needs (GRX 1x11) , so, I might choose to tune the gearing (either changing the cassette or the front chainring).
Otherwise, the bike is just superb!
