Ridgeback Comet Open Frame Black Large £549.99

The cornerstone of our utility range the Comet combines reliability, comfort and quality in an easy to understand package that is perfect for the first-time buyer. Designed to provide everything you need in a bike, without any unnecessary distractions, the Comet takes the complications out of bike ownership and leaves you free to enjoy the ride.

The aluminium frame is built to last and enjoys our limited lifetime warranty, while a single chainring and guard make for a clean ride.

Seven wide-ranging gears can be easily selected using the Shimano Revoshift twist shifter. This setup gives a perfect range for flatter environments and rolling hills and is very easy to use.

You'll also ride in comfort because we have selected wide tyres, a comfort saddle with pressure relief channel and ergonomically-shaped dual density grips.

Practicality is another area where the Comet really shines, with mounts for mudguards and racks.
