Well, I wish I could say I had. Cool lookin bike! I don't get the tech in the forks & seat stays but looks like they're trying something different.
Ridley's certainly a respectable bike. With the kind of curves it's got, I'd imagine it's not far from all the rest. Trying to blend compliance and stiffness to get the most speed & agility out of a road bike frame.

I almost bought a 2014 this week. The F-brake has a max brake track width of 23mm. If you use wide rims, they will not fit.

mh.. that's interesting. I checked with the store and they said the 2014 models should fit 25mm tyres. They send me a picture of one with 25mm tyres/rims. I'll report.

The wheel clearance is adequate. The brake track width is the problem. For instance, it won't fit the Firecrests.

Yet, the 2015 is spec'd with Firecrests on Ridley's website. CC says it's still a 23mm brake track width.
