Just bought my girlfreind an ex team in pink with ultegra and model b wheels and she loves it, cant recomend this bike enough!
She also has a Bianchi 928 c2c with veloce and some nice wheels and she prefers the Planet x.

Great service, friendly staff and a very gloomy looking warehouse (you cant have everything) CLEARA13.jpg

    Another Shimano convert :shock: :wink::wink:

    Nice looking bike, although I think the bar tape and saddle would look so much better in white... :roll:

    White is this years black.

    And what with swine flu you will be washing your hands plenty anyway.

    Black rather than white. If she had white and rode along eating a banana, she'd look like she was riding a trifle. :lol:

    The poster didn't ask who rides a pink bike they paid for.
    I am sure Smith could have chose a black one like his mate beside him
  • If I was buying another PX - would consider getting the pink one!

    nice and bright!

    You're happy wearing lycra(!), shave your legs, but baulk at riding a pink bike? Eh? Come on chaps, we might as well go the whole hog! :D

    Out of curiosity, what sie frame and how much does the complete bike weigh? (without pedals if poss!)
  • its a medium, my girlfriends 5'9 annd its perfect, not %100 sure about the weight , prob around 17, maybe a little under (thats with pedals)

    As a man i would have no problem riding around a pink one of these... I like it

    yeah, but if you look at the Panet x sight you get a better and hopefully more accurate idea of the colour from the gallery photos.
    The pink reminds me of the old large tubed Cannondale mountain bikes i used to covet. Had been thinking about the Boardman but find it a little bland looking.

    Pink for me!
