Ribble CGR Ti Review: Titanium Flavoured Go-Anywhere Adventure Bike

The CGR Ti’s versatility can be put down to three key design features: provision for disc brakes; clearance for 650b or 700c wheels with up to 45mm tyres; and a finely calibrated frame geometry that offers a balance of speed, responsiveness, stiffness and comfort in more or less equal measure.
