2009 Ridley Noah: Opinions, Reviews, Comments?

[troeray]

I have scoured the internet to find reviews of the new 2009 Ridley Noah, and despite all the hype and rumors about it being amazing, I have only found a handful of reviews on it. Can anyone who owns this bike or have any good information about it let me know what they think of its performance?

I'm a 6'3" 23-year-old amateur racer who loves to sprint and therefore, loves stiff frames and need something that won't flex so much in high-power situations.

This is a doping forum. Why are you talking about bikes ?

I'm a 5'11" 41 year old former amateur racer who now just rides and needs to lose about 15 pounds. I got nothing for ya.

The 2009 Ridley Noah Carbon was reviewed recently by CN. The reviewers were impressed. See:

Sorry guys, that review is a bug with the relaunched site. It's an old review pulled from a Future print magazine and is NOT of the new Noah. The new one is on our 'to do' list of test bikes, but unfortunately we haven't gotten to it just yet.

It isn't really a review, but good technical overview:

I was planning to get one in green, but due to the drama involved, opted out.

Looks like a lovely bike..
Cheapest price I can find is £2,359 for the frameset though... Ouch.
