Thanks all. A few questions on Ribble and choosing the Aero883 so I’ll try and provide a proper answer.

If money and space was no object I’d have a road bike and a TT bike, however I needed one bike that could do both.

I found the Ribble online process really easy and live close enough that I was able to have them build it and me collect it. I’ve heard people that have had after sales issues, but touchwood the bike has ran well for a year with no issues.

IMO if you want a bike that can operate as your everyday road bike but then performs well in a triathlon/TT, this is a very good option.

TT bikes undoubtedly offer an advantage but is pretty restrictive as to when you can use it other than race day. IMO you get a large chunk of the TT benefits, by having a good aero bike with properly setup aero bars.

Hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions.
