Anyone got an opinion on the Planet X RT-58 SRAM Force Carbon ??

Cant find any reviews? Couple of forum postings on this bike saying good things but not very detailed.

Has any one got one?

Thanks.

    I've got one. Love it.

    Only done around 150 miles on it within the last 10 days or so but I'm impressed with it so far :)

    Tell us more, wheelie bin. Is this your first carbon bike, if not what are you comparing it to? Some real world Pictures would be good also :) cheers

    saw on fb the one that planet x ceo was riding - looks like a popular bike and lots of demand and a small backlog to get through. I too would be interested to hear about it and any pics

    PS - the 57 is reduced at the moment - looks the pic of the range to me:

    They're a very good bike for the money. The frame feels solid and light and the specs fantastic.

    I had a spin on one in a large and was pleasantly surprised, much better to ride than my old cervelo. I'd put it up there with my TCR advanced with force.

    It didn't feel budget it any way. I liked it so much I bought some planet x 52mm carbon clinchers which rode exactly the same as my old cosmic carbon sl's. I was told the rim is from the same factory and is actually the 2010 cosmic carbone rim.
