RIDLEY CROSSBOW W/EYELETS
No frame manufacturer has a deeper 'cross heritage than Ridley, and with the Crossbow they provide a more affordable way than ever before to own one of their revered 'cross bikes. While the ~$700 frameset price makes it a superb value, it's built to perform on even the harshest, most technical courses. Its double-butted 7005 aluminum tubeset keeps it nicely light for run-ups (it weighs in at a mere 3.5lbs), with oversized tube diameters to provide loads of stiffness when you put it under the stress of high-torque/low-cadence efforts.
The Crossbow has been a long-standing fixture in the Ridley cyclocross line, but what makes this version unique is its "EL" designation. That's shorthand for "Eyelets." This frame has full on eyelets both front and rear -- allowing you to bolt up fenders or racks, which allows you to use this as a full-on commuter and not just as a race bike.
The Crossbow comes standard with the Ridley 4ZA Zornyc carbon fiber fork and an FSA integrated 1-1/8" headset. It's available in a White/Black paint scheme with World Championship Rainbow accents. It requires a 31.6mm seatpost, a 34.9mm front derailleur. It has a 5-year warranty from manufacturing defect.
