`Hey folks, cross season is upon us and I have a nice rig to help you get into the action! I've decided to switch to SS and disc brakes so I need to part with my Ridley X-Ride to make room. The great thing about the Ridley is the geo is sharp enough to be a great cross racing bike as well as a pretty good road bike. That's exactly how I used it. The bike is spec'd out as such.

Frame Ridley X-Ride SIZE 54
Drivetrain: Sram Rival 2x10, 11-26 cassette
Cockpit: Upgraded 3T carbon seatpost, Ritchey WCS bars, and Ritchey WCS Streem saddle. Fresh Fizik bar tape.
Wheels/tires Fulcrum racing, Schwalbe racing ralph CX tires
Brakes: Upgraded TRP 8.4 cross brakes, these brakes are awesome, best non-disc brakes around for a cross bike.

On my scale with CX tires, SPD pedals, and bottle cage, it weighs about 19.5lbs so pretty darn light by my standards. It is in great shape overall and shifts very smoothly. Only blemish I can find is a ding on the top tube which my bike shop has assured me does not at all afftect the performance of the bike. 

Sorry for the out of date photo! Bike is pictured with challenge Grifo tires and without the 3T seatpost. It currently has the carbon post and Schwalbe tires on it but I can put the Grifo's on if you prefer! Also shown are the original 4ZA canti brakes, TRP's on there are much better IMO but I still have the 4ZA's if you want them. 

I have about $2200 in this bike I'd like to get $1000 out of it after about 1.5 years of very moderate use. Email me with questions, newtonrb4(at)gmail.com!

Here's a pic as she sits today. My scale puts her at 19.7lbs as pictured. I think the price is pretty reasonable but if you have something else in mind shoot me an offer! This is a great bike in need of a new home.

Ok, last price drop before ebay (I hate ebay!)  I'll be in Charlotte for the weekend and can bring the bike!

Let's try $800
