.....i found this sticker in my collection, who and what and why were Ribco?

It's one of those 'know it or you don't' things! I expect Chris Job or YGT will get this.....maybe Alex.....or Joe

Im out! Not seen the sticker, dont think I have heard of Ribco before.

I'll take a guess at something to do with racing. I will even go further to say Robo?

Well done Daniel!! An offshoot of Standard called the Rock Island bike co. with Joe Rich at the helm planned to make a whole range of gear (frames parts etc) but fell at the first fence having pushed out a few sets of budget pegs!

It was a 'blink and you missed it thing!' Alex was too busy on the west coast!

Rock Island Bike Co! Yes, I totally remember. It was going to be a "budget" parts offshoot of the very expencive standard. Then Joe and Luc-e were going to run it. I thought at the time it was strange for 2 of the hottest riders to be at the top of the budget side of standard, as it was likely they wouldnt be using the stuff.

Country bikes? Craig Stephens rode for them. He gave me a red mesh hat with a truck on it. It was pretty cool but the hat was so cheap it was horrid. I tried to get a shirt too for a mate who is into county music but I never got it sorted.

I think that Craig still rides for them but I aint sure. Ive not seen him for ages.

I spoke to Craig about his sig frame (a while ago). He said that he wanted it in Denim finish! Hardy joked and said he thought they would probably do it ... as it wasnt like they would have to do many anyway! ha ha.

Can you say Hi from me, Ive not seen him for ages. He used to live in Oxford and we rode together quite a bit.

I gather he is quite "Rock n Roll" these days!

Due to the grade of stainless used Ribco pegs appear a little duller in colour or color if your american. still they was cheaper than standard pegs so for grinding ledges etc why pay more? bought several sets from Colin at Get Pedalin in Colechester, and still using them today.
