Ribble Audax 7005 road bike with carbon forks for sale - £300

[teddyt]

Sadly now discontinued the Ribble 7005 Audax was, for over a decade, the pre-eminent do-it-all road bike. Mudguard and pannier rack eyelets ensure this is a dependable and adaptable commuter or training bike. It has been given a make over this year to upgrade for a mid-noughties Dura Ace gear system. These parts are in splendid condition and are still operating at the level Dura Ace implies. A semi compact 52-36 chainset and 12-28 cassette provide gears for tackling all but the very hardest of UK hills. Wheels are true and sturdy with tyres that have modest wear. The rim brakes operate without flex and offer surprisingly good stopping power. Pedals are the dual sided and allow for regular shoes or Shimano SPD cleats to attach. The current owner has used this for six years and has had it serviced regularly. There are no signs of corrusion and only a few cosmetic scuffs and scratches commensurate with its age and frequent usage. Original sales Ribble receipts available. A recent check was performed by Goose Green Evans Cycles and brand new brake blocks fitted.
