Bummed this doesn’t have more views - I thought Ribble Rebellion was really cool and the type of project I’d like to see more of in cycling. Cool to hear Joe talk about his experiences.

Comment and question for Joe. I think you kind of touched on it, but as an American I think the problem for Ribble is that you guys got known in America, but I have no clue how to buy Ribble in the US. Is it even possible? So the name became known and popular in the US, but Ribble doesn't have any presence in the US. Nobody knows that brand, and worse then that, nobody can buy that brand. If I, as an American, see your bikes and want to buy one, it's incredibly difficult. So I think there isn't any ROI for Ribble. And you mentioned Legion. I think it was a good comparison. The difference being that when Legion was big, it was easy to buy a Specialized bike or buy Rapha kit. The accessibility was there. Also, they are an influencer brand. They get race results, but they're a social media influencer brand more than anything. And like you said, that wasn't your goal.
