Selling my trusty Ridley X-Fire in size 54. All carbon frame and fork in a beautiful visible carbon lay-up with white Ridley lettering. This is a 2010 or 2011 model, but was bought brand new from Lakeside last fall. The bike has seen me through 2 cross seasons and about 10 gravel rides and has done so with remarkably few signs to show for. There are some scratches and rub marks, but this bike is still in really great shape.
Comes with Shimano 105 gearing (modified to full length housing for the rear), TRP CX9 brakes, Ritchey carbon seat post, alloy stem and 44cm alloy bar with black bar tape. Your choice of an almost new Shimano CX70 crank (172.5, BCD110, 46/36, this one is currently installed) or SRAM S900 carbon crank (177.5, BCD110, 36/46, this crank can be modified to to a BCD130 spider). Dura Ace chain. Headset is new, and has 1 (dry) race on it. Comes with another spare new headset (these are specific to these Ridleys and not cheap), as well as a spare derailleur hanger.
I would like to keep my saddle, so you can test ride mine, but will have to put on yours. I did not plan to sell the bike with a set of wheels, but I would part with a set of tubular Velocity Major Toms on DT Swiss 240s in great shape with very good Challenge Limus tubs installed (front was reglued this season and has not been ridden since). There are other option that we can discuss, carbon or alloy, all tubular, don't have a set of clinchers to part with anymore.
I am asking $850 for the bike minus wheels/saddle. $1200 with the tubular wheelset (but no saddle).
Depending on course conditions, I will race this bike once more at Santa Cross, its available after the Masters B race on Saturday.
Its all single speed from here on out for cyclocross...I will miss this bike.
