Ribble has curated an amazing collection of bikes for Rouleur Live. ‘The Edit’ showcases five stunning models, all of which will be unveiled at London’s iconic Truman Brewery on the 2nd of November. Each show-stopping example represents a celebration of the British brand’s heritage, craftsmanship, innovation and design – ‘The Edit’ displays premium paint schemes and finishes that reflect the highest level of artistry in custom hand-built bicycles. The lineup includes; a bespoke ‘hand inked’ Ultimate Urban e-bike created in collaboration with London artist Vic Lee; a hand marbled Gravel SL straight from the Gravel Worlds; a distinctive etched and brushed finished Titanium Allroad prototype incorporating strokes of ‘Marble Ice’; a unique Ultra SL R Forces Edition with a military inspired design to mark the Royal British Legion’s London Poppy Day and Appeal and a sub UCI weight limit Superlight Endurance SL R complete with a resplendent and exuberant mixed metallic paint finish. All bikes exhibit exquisite artistic hand finishing techniques, attention to detail and high spec builds.

Ribble x Vic Lee - The Vic Lee E
Allroad Ti - Prototype
The all-new Allroad is a 3al/2.5v titanium frame using additive-manufactured head-tube and seat-tube clusters. This process was specifically chosen to further enhance the design and improved aerodynamics, with internal cable routing, integrated seat clamp and the ability to blend optimised tube profiles. Furthermore, it provides the freedom to create shapes with a high strength to weight ratio coping with more multi directional loads as well as allowing you to put material exactly where you want it to deal with specific stresses as opposed to taking material away in a more traditional format like CNC milling where you cannot always access the small areas like a 3D printer can.
