For a road brand, these hardtails look particularly good. Love the embossed logo and frame detailing: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/ribbles-titanium-and-steel-hardtails-nec-cycle-show-2019.html

Saw them in photos a while back, like the On-Ones they look remarkably like the Sick! bikes! Bent seatstay, seatpost strut, plate on the chainstay etc. Not the same extreme geometry but certainly some common features.

Queue fun-pokey marketing emails from On One berating the Ribble pricing structure, calculator in an envelope etc. Save me from the lolcano.

That Ti one looks beautiful. Which body parts are worth the most on the black market?

What was the steel MTB that was launched by the Indian Billionaire/Steel owner. It cost a small fortune.
Anyway, reminds me of the hardtail they released. Bet it's a fraction of the cost too.

"First ever mountain bike"... I think not, I remember seeing an ancient looking Ribble hardtail at Afan a while back.

I love a Ti hardtail - but I can't see beyond that weird looking seat-stay design!

They've used it on the Steel bike as well :o(

Good effort Ribble

Can't disagree there.

I would have to put a little purple "D" in front of the logo on mine. For Dez, like.
