Pickenflick or Ribble CGR Ti

[wullie_t25]

Anybody own or have an opinion on the On One Pickenflick vs the Ribble CGR Ti vs the Sonder Camino Ti?

I fancy getting a titanium cross bike and these seem to be pretty good value, especially the Pickenflick. Looking for a titanium frame with 700 x 40c/45c tyre capacity and I hope to enter some events next year to help with motivation, for fun and a challenge.

Need to get weight down and fitness up (lost over a stone in the past 6 weeks just with eating better and cycling more).

This will sit along side a Surly ECR / Trek 1120 for touring and hopefully a Whyte 905/Trek Roscoe 8/9 when the 2019 stock is released.

No idea, but congrats on the weight loss!

I have a Pickenflick which I love - the only downside dealing with PlanetX for spares ( I needed some parts the wheels). Their customer service is very poor they take incompetence to new levels!

The bike itself is faultless now that have I upgraded the wheels (with Hunt 4 seasons).

Yes it’s a shame about Planet X’s customer service.

Google reviews are horrendous.

I would have bought a bike from them otherwise!

FYI the Ti CGR seems to have disappeared off rubbles website? Not sure if it’s sold out or I can’t find it. Worth a look.

Thanks, long way to go yet.

I did see a lot comments regarding Planet X poor Customer Service, which is concerning. I have also seen some poor comments on Ribble.

Not sure if the cash would be better spent on an Ali frame, like the Arkrose or something.

The CGR does seem to be listed here: www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-cgr-ti/ , but the large is pre-order for Sept.
