Ridley is the new Trek
First is was 'Cervelo is the new Trek' when Cervelo was the hHot Bike Du Jour. Now that Ridley Noah is Hot Bike Du Jour. It's getting rather annoying. It's 'he's getting a Noah' this and 'hey, that Noah is the coolest bike ever' that. Just STFU already.
So all things considered, that does make Ridley the new Trek.

Fuji is the new Trek.
Ridley was, and pretty much still is, a boutique brand.

NO, Ridley isn't anywhere near as popular as Cervelo which is why Trek has received such a negative view by hardcore cyclists. They are all great bikes, but Roadies are a unique and fickle bunch. It is nice to have something a little less common from an aesthetic sense but functionally, one quality carbon frame isn't much different than the next IMO.
BTW, I went with a more esoteric brand. This frameset is on the way to my house. Sublte, classy, timeless.

you can buy isaac frames all over the place. the list of ridley dealers is short. i wish ridley would be as common as isaac to get a better price on the 2009 noah.

If you don't like cold weather, don't ride in it. If you do, take it like a man. Like I give a sheat about how much you ride or how cold it is when you do or what bilke you ordered or what wheels you bought. Frankly you strike me as a sad, attention seeking fool. YMMV.

Correct, except I'm not sad. If by sad you mean 'pathetic', who can argue? But I'm sure I'm happier than you are. Which doesn't sound like a Big Accomplishment.
The next time you want to be 'frank' with me, save it for somebody who gives a ****.
