Did I get a good deal and good bike?
I got a Ridley X bow with tiagra for 1160 out the door. I get lifetime tune ups and a professional fitting included. It weighs 21.6 pounds. lighter than I expected. Tiagra is pretty reliable from what Ive seen and heard and by experience. Not the lightest though. The wheels are... meh... But Im stoked about it! I kinda bought off impulse and didnt search to see if it was a good deal. Im on the team so I got a bit of a discount. Did I get a good deal?

Ridley Crosswind + Rival for $1200

I think it'll be a great bike for you. "Meh" wheels are OK because you probably want a second set anyway.
I raced three seasons on a Kona Jake and was never unhappy with it. I upgraded the components as I had funds but to this day I love that bike. The X-Bow that you got may be Ridley's least great CX frame, but of their CX frames that one is probably the best as an all-around bike. Plus it's a Ridley, and just as my bottom-of-the-line Kona was still pretty good CX bike, I expect you'll discover that about your Ridley and then some. |

But I supported local buisness, built a better relationship with the owner of the shop, get LIFETIME tune ups and a pro fitting. I knew I wasnt getting the best deal possible but its still good from a LBS
If you want to build a better relationship with the owner of your local shop, stop beating around the bush and ask him out for dinner and a movie. |

I'm all for buying from a local shop, but that wasn't what you asked.

Some people just need to be a wet blanket.

It's not horrible. Just because there are better deals doesn't mean you got a bad deal. You did not get hosed. Not by a long shot.
