Dear Editor,

I would like to receive your opinion on Ridley Noah frame, I like it a lot but at the same time I wonder if these lines are well suited to the way I wanted to go by bike everyday during lunch break, about 30/35 km on road mainly aimed at uphill research, always Sunday training for long ascents. No races, no granfondo, no race with "friends".

These frames can be right for me (range Ridley Noah) so aggressive and yet aesthetically pleasing?

Dear Reader, congratulations for your, because you lives bike like it should be lived by a fan, for the sheer pleasure of cycling and non-competitive research and comparisons with others. This allows you to choose the bike that you like more and not the more necessary to stay ahead of the others. The Ridley Noah frame in its various forms (Noah Fast Brake, Noah, Noah SR) is a frame that was created for maximum stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency. This research allowed Noah to be the best aero bikes on the market, in terms of rigidity and speed at the expense of lightness. A bike, therefore, that the best of the plains and hills, not on long climbs. The fact remains that without the obsession of the stopwatch can be used to climb with the greatest satisfaction and pleasure driving. At the same assembly is just about 300 grams heavier, leading in the race, but no effect in other conditions. The overall quality of the frame is excellent. Attention to the ride comfort, not very high, however, aligned with similar bikes. Rather, the voice comforts, Noah RS model, less rigid in the rear triangle. Also in the range of Ridley, in fact you should ask to model Helium, Ridley suits the bike climbs. Again, however, that if you do not have to do competitions you can choose the model that you like, being sure to have bought a great bike. The Ridley Noah, however, is the best aero bikes on the market today, you have the choice.
