Hi all,

I'm selling my Ridley SuperCross bike configured with Ultegra. This bike
retailed for around $2600 when I bought it new, three seasons ago in 2007.
It is in sound overall shape, with no dents or structural problems. The
expendables like the bottom bracket and brake pads have been replaced. It
fits more like a 54cm cross bike. I am 5'10 with a 32 inch inseam, and it
fits me perfectly. My road bikes are 54-56cm. It has the rather high
Ridley bottom bracket, which makes ground clearance an non-issue. Some
people really like the ridley fit and others don't, but you can't question
its ability to go fast. Several world championships have been won on this
bike. The Scandium frame is light and stiff. It accelerates well. The
carbon stays help it float over the rougher stuff. It has the best carbon
cross fork I've seen. The bike weighs just under 19 pounds with the
chromoly egg beaters and green stuff puncture strips in the michelin
clinchers (great for trail training). It can easily weigh in the 17's with
a decent pair of tubular wheels/tires on it. You can find pictures at the
link below. $1000 OBO complete as pictured.

Thanks,
Bob
