Just wondering what size Planet X people have gone for and what height you are?

I'm 6ft1' which seems to put me as a large but also on the edge of XL..

    Hi JoJo I'm 6ft = large. Look at their website on build page which will show frame geometry and tube length then go into local shop and ompare against what they have until you find one that is as close as you can get. I couldn't find a local stockist of planet x so did this and compared it to my spec allez and it was almost similar so went for it untried. Very happy with the bike! Stem and saddle movement can obviously make a difference but if you can try different sizes of bikes and compare to planet x sizing you should be ok. Being between sizes it will be down to personal preference as technically either size would be ok for you. I would prob suggest x large though.

    Good luck!

    I am 5'10", medium is perfect for me, I suspect large will do for you.

    Edit, oh 6'1", not 6', hmmm, you're on the cusp.

    I would suggest you give them a call Im 5 10 and at the time was wondering whether I should have a M or a L but after speaking with them I had a medium and was the right decision. My seat still not up full still have a few cm's adjustment left on it as well I suspect the L would be ok but I would give them a call to make sure

    I have XL but I am 6'3", sounds like a large is right for you. you can make the smaller frame fit slightly larger, but not vice versa.

    I am 5' 8" and on the change over between small and medium, and having spoken to the guys at planet X I went for the small but with a longer stem. when I first got it I was still unsure but after a couple of rides knew that I had made the right choice. I would go for the large and if you need a bit more reach add a longer stem. really plaesed with the bike so far.

    How do you find having only one bottle cage? I'd need a small frame, but I'd also want two bottle cages, so it puts me off getting a P-X.
