Ribble CX Shimano 105
This build offers one of Shimano's premium groupsets the Shimano 105 which is the first option in Shimano's 11 speed range. If you require a lightweight build with one of the best performing and best value groupsets on the market then this is the build for you. With visually pleasing aesthetics as well as slick and precise shifting 105 has the same exceptional performance characteristics of its bigger brother the Ultegra at only a slightly heavier weight. We have again chosen to pair this with Mavic Aksiums due to their reliability, at this price point the Aksiums are simply one of the premier sets of wheels around.
The Ribble Alloy CX is the ideal choice for entry into cyclocross racing or for those fast all weather commutes. With its lightweight Aluminium frame and mudguard compatibility this bike ticks more than one box when it comes to versatility.

My only gripe would be that the crank was installed really tight and even when using the specific shimano Hollowtech II tool it took some engineering to get it twisted off to put a power meter on. But the rest of the bike was put together really professionally and out of the box it only took slightly over an hour to build it.
