Ribble CGR Ti £6859

Ribble Cycles has a reputation for value, but as its CGR Ti shows, the venerable Lancashire institution makes bikes for every pocket and rider.

This hand-built, titanium frame comes in three standard builds – with Shimano 105, SRAM Rival or Ultegra Di2 – or you can spec the kit yourself. We pushed the boat out and went for SRAM’s wireless eTap disc brake groupset. Why not?

Ribble is marketing this as a durable bike ideal for commuting, adventure and the Sunday ride, and it’s perfect ‘loaded or light’ too.
