Had this a year now, finally upgraded the wheels, the bars look like they need rotating a bit, think it may just be the pic angle though as I have never noticed it previously, comments good or bad welcomed.

Pics:
With the new wheels

    like the frame.

    dont like the white wheels or suitcase below the seat.

    Suitcase, ha I like that, it has been changed since then, I didn't like the wheels at first but they look much better off camera, had the same wheels in black and I thought they were much better in white.

    Matching water bottles would be a good addition

    Slightly off topic, but where is the action(ish) photo taken?

    Nice bike dude, lots of bangs per bucks with Planet X. As you have white wheels and white decals how about white bar tape? It might help integrate the wheels a bit better.

    It's on the road from slaidburn to Bentham, it's called cross o greets, known as a few other names too, even made it into the top 100 climbs if I remember correctly.

    Cheers yellow peril, I used to have white tape on my previous bike, had every intention of keeping it clean but just never could, maybe in the summer, but if I change the tape I also need to change the saddle and this one I get on with.

    Thought I recognised it. I live in Lancaster and have been out that way a few times. I' ve been on the lookout for a planet x nano light frame but not had any luck.

    Yeah it's a nice climb if the wind is not in your face, there have been a few nano light frames in the classifieds before Xmas.

    the wind is never not in your face going over t'cross o' greet.
    Was always one of my favourite rides that setting off from Wray up to lowgill , going over the cross to slaidburn, then over the trough of bowland and back through Quernmore to Wray.
    Nice PX as well.

    Yeah dom that is a great ride, bowland is an amazingly quiet place to ride a bike. I go in the other direction though as I live a couple of mile from jubilee tower so makes sense to get that out of the way first, cross o greet has the wind in your face whichever way you attempt it, but I think the way you use it, from wray, is much more difficult, especially last 200m.
