Planet X Sram Red vs Ribble Pro Evo Ultegra
Constant headwind
Posts: 33
Advice please. The Planet X seems way better initially but it doesn't have a Sram crank or brakes whereas the Ribble is Ultegra throughout.

Someone must have an opinion on which bike I should go for. They're both around £1100. Advice appreciated. This will be my first "proper bike" so I want to make the best decision I can. Thanks.0

So, I see that the Planet-X Sram Red 'special deal' has ended and that it's now increased by £200 to £1299.99 and has a date of mid October....

Are you not considering the focus cayo?
Id go with Shimano over SramI like white bikes0 -
I'm a massive SRAM fan! The FSA Gosssamer is nothing to be sniffed at. Probably comparable to Ultegra
No idea about the brakes I'm afraid - to be honest it's a try both an see situation (ifficult with mail order though...)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

+1 SRAM is far better than some horrible Japanese rubbish....better if it was a well known Italian firm.
FSA Gossamer cranks are quite nice, light ish weight, but stiff when pedalling.
Brakes wise, just change them if you don't like them. :roll:jedster wrote:Just off to contemplate my own mortality and inevitable descent into decrepedness.

The brakes work fine. Not as good as the Sram Red ones - but they will stop you just fine.
Big fan of Sram also. Ribble frame looks nicer. The Planet X deal was better at £1099. Not sure at £1300.0
