Hi

Im looking to buy a TT Frameset for around £400. I am thinking of the Planet X Stealth or the Argon 18 E80 but cant decide between them.

The Planet X frameset(carbon) is 300grams lighter than the Argon 18(aluminum) but the Argon makes up for this with internal cable routing, hidden brakes and reversible seatpost.

What do you think is the best choice?

Thanks

    PX have a few clearance Exocet 2's at 500, might be worth a gander.

    Getting the right fit is the most important aspect of a TT frame, try them out if you can, or at least compare the geometry and base your decision on that.

    Still a few of the Exocet 2 frames here for £500. I bought one a few weeks ago and have just finished building it up. Very impressed by the quality of the frame and after a few test rides feels very stiff.

    I wanted a PX for ages but found an as new Argon 18 E-80 frame. Love it and have been very impressed so far. Tad heavy if your into hilly events but fast, comfy and easy to get a good position on.
