I think he might be elegible for the cycle2work scheme so the planet X package looks good. But the Reynolds wheels look fragile- he is 6 2 and 13 stone.
Also like the look of the Cinelli Unico tiagra and I saw that v cheap
Size frame around 59
Any recommendations??

Ribble do an excellent range of bikes that are great value. 13stone shouldn't pose any problems at all.0

Good value bikes.. but I couldnt justify spending 800 on a bike with the word 'ribble' on it
Its just not sexy sounding ...De Rosa, Cinelli, Bianchi ...0 -
Lol, but if its performance you want, forget the fance names and go for what is actually the best.0

I guess I'm just a sucker for that
What do you think of Cinelli Unica frameset? Its a lovely frame inc bars stem seatpost forks and i have seen the 06 model(same as 07 bar colour) for 500-520
Looking at the exotic italian framesets i realised it is actually CHEAPER to buy separates and self build which i am reasonably able to do. For example a complete Unica with veloce 06(1150-1200), or 07 (1400) with Khamsins or cheap mavics
If bought separate
Unica 06
centaur 06 groupset
vento 07, tyres, tubes
fizik arione
pedals
A higher spec bike for 1050!!
Don't know which is better, this or planet x0 -
Given the frame is 550 quid or so it seems a bargain! Can't fault the tubeset, and looks to be pretty light at 2.7lbs. Maybe try posting in the roadie section too? TBH, I am more of an MTBer lol0
