I've had this bike for about 5 months now and absolutely love it. Most of the parts were transferred over from my Boardman Alu Team. I later sold the frame and forks for that on ebay so the Planet X cost me nothing.

Hope the link works - never used Photobucket before!

Cheers,

Gary

It works...

looks sweet, I saw one in the flesh recently with sram red and it looked lovely. I fancy one myself or maybe do a self build. It sounds like you had a sorted deal with the frame too

I have to say the white frame's finish is very nice. I got a really good deal on ebay with the Boardman frame/fork so I essentially upgraded to carbon for nothing. The PX handles very well (I know some find the front end twitchy) and does me for my level of riding. I may upgrade the chainset and pedals next year.

I know PX's aren't everyone's cup of tea but I would definitely get another and would certainly recommend the SL Pro to anyone who is tempted - not sure about PX's new logo though!

I prefer the older logo.

I have a few mates with these and none of them ever complain about twitchiness...

Glad your enjoying the bike and well done for sorting the frame etc yourself. I would pay no attention to the Planet X haters on here, most of which ride mass produced bikes anyway.
