2010 Ridley X-Fire

For sale is my Ridley X-fire cyclocross bike. It is a 54cm, which for a Ridley fits probably more like a 56 because it has a high standover. It is a full carbon cross bike with a tapered steerer full carbon fork. It takes v-brakes or canti's (have run both paul mini-v's and trp cx-9's with salmon koolstops, works as well or better than the avid bb7's I have on my mtb). Ridley is a Belgian bike company that specializes in ultra-racey cx frames. The geo of this bike resembles a road bike with a higher BB. This is one of the most comfortably compliant, stiff, yet dampening bikes i've ever ridden. On a cross course it handles beautifully, on pavement it accelerates like a beast and is comfortable for the long haul (ridden it up Mt. Evans).

Selling as a partial build. Frame/fork, avid shorty canti's, reynolds solitude clincher wheelset, sram 10sp derailleur and cassette, wtb saddle, PRO seatpost.

Can negotiate with which parts are included/price. WILL NOT INCLUDE cranks/BB or shifter/brake levers. Could throw in drop bars.

Feel free to text/call
will entertain trades for 52cm cx frames (canti/v-brakes only, preferably with sliding/horizontal dropouts)
