Hey all you Christmas fans! It's that time of year again, and what we have today for those bicycle enthusiasts on your list is this awesome Ridley Dean! For a GREAT review of this bike, check out: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/ridley-dean-frame-2010
... which should give you a great background on all the thought and engineering that Ridley put into this bike!
Item for sale is an XS Ridley Dean Time Trial bike. Weighing in at 19lbs, the the Ridley Dean Triathlon and TT bike is full-carbon, lightweight and "aero-tuned," meaning it has many aero features such as rear wheel cutout, elongated tubing, split forks, and carbon aero bar setup. Still nice and light for an aero rig, due to a high-quality carbon frame, keeping it light and nimble with great power transfer. Paired to a Shimano Dura-Ace group for absolute top-of-the-line, consistent and reliable shifting in a lightweight package... the very best that Shimano makes! It's rolling on a pair of Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels as well that are low profile and quick to spin up.
The bike was sized incorrectly prior to my ownership, and to correct this problem I spent over $900 at Frame Doctor in Tavares, FL to rebuild the seat stem. It's in great condition cosmetically and mechanically and ready for a new rider.

From an early review on the Dean:
The Ridley Dean is an aero, lightweight, great ride for Triathlons, Time Trials, or just around town. Extreme aero design with aero-tuned tubing, tucked rear wheel, and innovative split fork design. With Shimano's flagship Dura-Ace groupset you get smooth and reliable shifting, and nice Fulcrum wheels. Great way to get a nice aero rig at a good value.
This bike is in great shape and ready to ride! For the right buyer I will ship anywhere in continental US for $150 flat rate, includes professional packaging.
Lots of nice extras and I have over $3200.00 invested!! I'm downsizing, so everything must go. It's a sacrifice at this price, but I need to move on, so... make me an offer! No reasonable offer refused.
