Finally built my 'winter' bike in time for Spring. I'm aware white bar tape might not be the best colour for a winter bike but it was what I had knocking around!

Its my first titanium bike and only had a quick ride so far but my first impressions are that its very smooth and comfortable. Could prob have improved the comfort more with a carbon seatpost but I ran out of budget!

They are lovely bikes. I'm sure you will love it.

This looks great. I hired one in Mallorca and was really impressed with it, fancied owning one ever since. Shame they don't do them now, think its replaced by their Ventus frame but I prefer the flared seat stays on the Euros....thought it was a brilliant ride. Enjoy...

Thanks guys, the ride quality is certainly living up to my expectations. Pretty sure PX are still selling the Euros too.

That's a plush looking winter bike, very nice indeed. I Ti

If people want 2 bikes that's fair enough, but I wish people would stop using 'winter' / 'winter bike' as an excuse.

Beautiful looking bike, just ordered a 50cm Euros frame from Planet X due for delivery today (after months of thinking do I buy one or not), just hoping it's not going to be to small I am only 5ft 4" with a 30" inside leg so I am hoping it's going to be a pretty good fit. Is it true that you need to use a anti seize grease for headset and bottom bracket on ti bikes?

I always smear the threads with copper slip before fitting, no matter what the frame is made of.

Van Nicholas Euros, nice.

Think you can get issues with titanium bolts or seat posts bonding to titanium frames but as Flasher says its always worth smearing bolts etc with copper slip/grease esp BBs.
