My current bike - Ribble Endurance SLR. Just waiting to get the handlebars swapped out for shorter stem. Lesson to anyone getting integrated bars - for the love of god please get a bike fit first as it’s bloody expensive if you have to swap out.

WELP, picked up another project bike. I’ve probably always been a retrogrouch at heart.
I’ve been on the lookout for a higher end older steel road frame, and this one popped up, and I swept in. This is a 92 RB1; the 93 RB1 in yellow is the ultra desirable one, but this one is up there too.
This frame has a bit of a sad story. I don’t know the full details, but the seller told me that it was his friend’s who bought it new in 92. About a decade ago, he fell ill, which ultimately prompted the change from a lot of the original Shimano 600 tricolor parts to the mishmash of Mavic 631 triple, newer cockpit, XT RD, etc.
This is the “before” pic, but after I collect the remaining 600 pieces, I’ll be doing a full frame-up resto and will update in a few months.

Weighs 25 lbs on the nose without pedals…so far so good. I think it’s the race bike for 2024…much pointier than the Rocky Mountain Element I was racing last year. Incredibly fun bike, not great for racing.

Lauf Seigla Weekend Warrior Wireless in Silfra blue. Swapped out the wheels for Hunt Gravel 35 X-Wide with Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H 45m tires, and the saddle for a Specialized Power with Mirror. Waxed chain.
First ride was inside due to a bunch of rain and wife being out / watching kiddos. Fit seems dialed in to my endurance road bike, but with a shorter stem (net reach about 15 mm shorter). Need to get a couple of outdoor rides in before deciding to keep it or go longer. Can’t wait to get it dirty!

The frameset with this paintjob is easily among the top three bikes I have ever seen. Simply stunning.
Very nice build as well! Happy riding!
