    - we actually sell a lot of stuff to europe , we have very big markets in finland and belgium , ok in germany , not sure why finland but its number 4 or 5 in our sales volume

    The Finish people are a very smart, sophisticated and independent thinking race.

    No. We're just poor guys seeking good stuff for less money :-)

    I just bought a Planet-X SL Pro Carbon Ultegra. And yes, I'm happy.

    Had the bike for 9 months and 5 100+ sportives, found I hated the saddle, otherwise it is smooth, comfortable, climbs well (much easier than my alu), is just what I want.

    Recently a friend with 2 carbon frame bikes (one is a Giant TCR full DA) borrowed my bike and has said that he'll be selling the Giant to fund a PX as he found it so comfortable.

    Even so, if you felt you were picking your second choice bike, you'd inevitably end up wishing you'd gone for the first. Both are good bikes, as are a lot of others too, it all comes down to what will give you the biggest wow factor.

    I just bought the PX with Ultegra groupset and my initial experience is quite similar. It is smooth & comfortable and it climbs stunningly well. This in comparison to my previous Bianchi 1885 Alu Carbon.

    If you're after a comfortable ride and a good climber, PX is a very good choice. If maximum stiffness of the frame is what you seek, then you may want to look for some other option.
