Here's the text:
Brand new super pimped SL Pro Carbon Road bike spec coming in the new year complete with these mechs, FSA SLK Carbon chainsets, FSA’s super light SLK brakes and all manner of other top end parts. I’ll get one built up, photographed and maybe even weighed next week, but it’s promising to be a REALLY light build.

For all you Planet X SL Pro bike fans out there this should be some build. Its got to have a much heavier price tag than their current range but I bet it will still knock the socks of anything else out there at what ever price it ends up at.

    you will probably still need to pedal it though...
  • Its going to be a very crazy price , for a high spec , a very limited offer (152 bikes worldwide), with a splashing of carbon , were going to be looking at 1299 unbuilt , 1399 built

    slk light carbon compact cranks , k force light carbon seatpost , slk brakes , ritchey carbon bars (first 30 bikes only) , possibly the new schwalbe ultremos if they arrive , 7900 rear mech

    Should be up on the website monday / tuesday

    I thought the 7900 rear mech used a different cable pull?
  • Mismash of components and hasn't got the good thing about new Dura Ace - The levers!

    Surprised teh bike is that heavy too with the spec on there - just goes to show how hard it can be to get down to 6.8 kg

    I was going to say about the weight, my carbon bike is 16lbs and five years old, so nothing revolutionary, although have to say it is a very good price of course...
  • Don't think that set back seatpost is going to suit everyone either
