Check out these rather swish looking paint schemes on the Ribble Endurance SL R and Ultra SL R Commonwealth bikes...
This week, we've got not one but two Bikes at Bedtime for you. Ribble-sponsored athletes that have just finished competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games road race got some rather special limited edition paint schemes to mark the occasion. Finn Crockett was the highest place finisher, claiming third in the men's race after three and a half hours of racing.
Ribble has cracked open a new paint tin with a custom colour chrome finish and chrome decals. Both bikes use an 11-speed Ultegra R8070 di2 disc brake groupset, which is not only Shimano's second-tier groupset but has also now been superseded by the 12-speed R8100 Ultegra. You're probably bored of us telling you that Ultegra is functionally just as good as Dura-Ace, but this is yet another example of even the pros not being able to justify the additional expense.Finn Crockett, who sprinted to third from a reduced bunch, uses Sram aero chainrings mounted to a Quarq DFour power meter and crank arms. You may have also noticed the lack of bar tape; we're informed this is because the dropped portion of the bar is textured like sandpaper to provide grip.
