**PRICE DROP** Ridley Dean 1113A – SRAM Red - MEDIUM

2011 Ridley Dean 1113A - 56cm - $2900 ***I will throw in a lightly used wheelset for $225 if you need one***

This bike was used for less than one year of racing triathlons and is in great condition. Used from May 2011 – November 2011. There is a cosmetic nic on the paint of the left side of the downtube. It is shown in one of the photos.

***The seatmast has been cut to a height of 77.5mm - from the center of the bottom bracket to the middle top of the saddle. The saddle can be raised to a maximum of 79.5cm with the 2cm of seatmast spacers. (Could be raised to 81.5cm with the additional purchase of a Ridley Tall Seatmast Cap). The saddle could be lowered another few cm's by cutting the seatmast further.***


Bike is very clean and in excellent condition.

Let me know if you have any additional questions or want more photos.

Ridley Dean Advantages:


No fancy add-ons or sneaky solutions to trick UCI rules, just pure aerodynamic efficiency. Every square millimeter is designed to reduce energy sapping drag.


- F-Splitfork reduces drag by 7.5% by drawing turbulent air away from spokes.
- F-Surface paint technology reduces drag by 4.1% by increasing laminar flow.
- Every tube is constructed to maximize aerodynamics and power transfer.
- Internally routed cables and aero positioned brakes for a smooth airflow.
- Full carbon tapered headtube with angular contact bearings.
- 76/78 degree seat tube angles as standard
- Maximum cut-off length ISP, measured from top seatpost, is 70mm

Ridley spent a small fortune in the wind tunnel to develop a bike that shaves away drag by doing more than incrementally narrowing tube profiles or shortening a head tube. Rather than abiding by standard industry practice, i.e. knock off a Cervιlo P3 and spice it up with fancy paint, they've gone to the heart of structural engineering and found answers to questions other companies never thought to ask. Ridley calls their Dean time trial frameset "The fastest bike in the world", and it's more than just braggadocio.


Initially, the Dean started out as a collaborative effort between Ridley and Oval Concepts, as the Belgian bike maker was keen to use Oval's Jetstream technology, but eventually it made sense for Ridley to buy the rights to Jetstream. Once that happened, Ridley aggressively invested in its further development, resulting in the R-Flow design you'll find in the Dean's fork legs and seat stays.


As we all know by now, drag increases exponentially with airspeed, which means even small changes to reduce your drag will have a disproportionately positive impact at higher and higher speeds. Though every inch of the Dean is sculpted to cheat the wind, R-Flow technology focuses on one specific issue of bicycle aerodynamics -- according to Ridley, your wheels produce 8x more drag where they pass through your fork and seatstays due to the turbulence of the colliding air masses there. The R-Flow fork and stays on the Dean minimize this drag thanks to their long slotted airfoils that direct oncoming air away from the turbulent areas near the wheels.


The slotted design of the Dean's airfoils addresses the fact that at cycling speeds, a single airfoil can't deflect a large mass of air without creating substantial drag. Not unlike racing catamarans or aircraft landing flaps, slotted airfoils can deflect air without creating drag. The Dean redirects the air stream away from the wheels, and has the added benefit of creating a low-pressure area that further reduces the drag of your rims and spokes.

The story of the Dean goes beyond R-Flow. Ridley used oil mapping in the wind tunnel to isolate spots of turbulent airflow on Dean prototypes. Not only did this technique allow Ridley to re-sculpt the Dean throughout its development, but it had the ultimate benefit of helping them identify key sections of the frameset where they couldn't re-sculpt the frame due to structural limitations. In these seemingly unfixable black holes of drag, they apply a textured surface treatment for boundary layer control. Ridley calls it "R-Surface paint", and our affectionate shorthand here is "aero paint". These thin stripes of texture are amazing. They purposely trigger a known amount of turbulence that re-energizes lost boundary layers, ultimately re-establishing laminar flow and minimizing drag. In other words, they carefully create an airflow mess in order to make an unprecedented cleanliness. Airflow control is why you see vortex generators on jets, and why you see dimples on golf balls. And it's exactly what Ridley does with their R-Surface paint.

One of our favorite details of the Dean is a topic normally swept under the rug when you talk about TT bikes: weight. The cost of being aero, you'll normally hear, is added weight. Thankfully, with the Dean you can ride a TT bike that feels as light as a road bike. A size Medium frame weighs 1360g before you cut down the integrated seat mast to height. You'll be equally fast on any course, dead flat or relentlessly rolling.

The Ridley Dean is White/Red/Black. The Dean has an English bottom bracket, and a braze-on front derailleur. Your bike comes with an integrated headset and a seat clamp assembly that allows you to position your saddle in an effective 75° or 78° position. The standard clamp assembly allows an 18mm range in saddle height and comes with 1mm micro-spacers for small adjustments. (Ridley offers an additional aftermarket clamp that provides 40mm of height adjustment.)

So does a 56 correspond to the medium on the geometry chart on the Ridley website?

I should change the post. This bike is a MEDIUM on the Ridley geometry chart. Thanks for prompting me to clarify this!
