Hello cyclist men and women,
I need your opinions on this bike I picked up recently for £250 (~$320). I got it off a family friend who is unable to cycle anymore and wanted someone to carry on the legacy of the bike.
What I need your help with is the frame. He said it was a Ribble carbon frame which is unbranded who he got off a contact at Merlin (they’re not too far away from where we live). However I can’t find anywhere a frame from Ribble which looks similar. Can you help me find the frame if you know it?
Another thing, I’m just curious on how good of a deal the bike is or isn’t. It’s my first ever bike so I’m not too sure, I will list the specs I know below.
Shimano 105 gear set
Shimano 105 rim breaks
Shimano RS wheels
RSP Carbon seat post
3T Stem
Easton EC70SL Handlebar
Fabric Saddle

$300 looks good to me. It also looks carbon.
I did some digging, since this kind of detective work intrigues me. I didn’t find any ribble bike, that fits either. However I found a frame, that looks very similar maybe identical. The Hongfu FM015
$300 is a good deal anyways.
You actually got a pretty good deal. A nice looking frame with full 105 and some nice components
The frame looks like it might be a generic one, but the bare carbon with matt clear coat looks really cool.
