This bike’s frame was made from Reynolds 653 tubing and repainted at some point.
I do not know what manufacturer it came from because the Ribble decals were already on the bike when I bought it.

The paint job is pretty good overall, except in the lower areas of the down and seat tubes, bottom bracket shell and the front part of the chainstays, where there is a weird shift in colour. The paint had also flaked off on the BB shell, so I repainted it in whatever shade of red I had to protect the steel, since it is not a high-visibility area.

The bike was completely dismantled, cleaned and rebuilt. Bearings in both hubs and the headset were replaced, packed with grease and adjusted. Both wheels were polished and trued. New brake pads, cables and housing were installed, as well as gear cables and housing. New bar tape, inner tubes, tires, chain and saddle installed. Grease/lube applied as needed.
Full tune-up completed after everything was put back together.
