Planet X Carbon Track Bike

PhilPub

OK, not a road bike but since "track" is a subset of the "road" forum on here... The main reason I'm posting is, having searched numerous images for this model before purchase, everyone seems to go black for everything, which I think looks rather... black! So in case anyone wanted to see what it looks like with white bars & saddle, set off with a nice bit of bling gold chain...

Frame: PX Carbon Track, small
Forks: PX Carbon Track
Bars: PX anatomic Strada 40cm
Stem: PX Superlight Team 3D forged stem 110mm
Headset: PX integrated headset
Bar Tape: cork, white

Seat: PX Superlight Team Saddle, white
Seat Post: PX Aero
Seat Post Clamp: bit dodgy actually, but worked OK when I used a longer bolt!!

Cranks: Stronglight Track 2000, 49t
Chain: KMC Z510 gold
Pedals: Shimano Ultegra SPD SL
Bottom Bracket: Stronglight JP 400 JIS

Wheels: PX Model A tubular, 700C
Tyre: Continental Sprinter tubular

Weight: 6.6kg (14.5lbs) according to the website!











(Apologies for the pedal arms being near vertical in the early shots, that was the easy way to keep the bike upright against the kerb!)

A couple of tweaks... saddle's at the right height, yellow dustcaps removed. Also now tried and tested on the track, set-up's just right. Feels great!

I love my PX track bike, virtually same as yours, picked up in the January sales. I had a problem with the clearance of the front fork with tyre but 20mm rubber sorted it. Now winter is upon us I hope I find loads more track time to make use of it.
