    Nice. No frills and looks nicely set up, too. Enjoy.

    Wow. It is not another matt back bike. I saw this topic and thought" here we go again ,another black stealth bike"
    Its even got some silvery bits and no black rims! I think it looks great. Well done mate.

    Thanks - although it's a proving a bit of a problem keeping the frame clean, not sure what I should use to remove the odd grease stain etc Its my race bike so regularly thrown in and out of the boot.

    I have the same white PX with Ultegra and Wheelsmith Race 24's. It's my "best bike" but pretty much gets ridden all year round. Give the frame a polish with whatever you have laying around in the garage and then just wipe it down with a damp cloth or leather after each ride, any grease etc. should just wipe off with a dry cloth.

    The Xls 105 in carbon looks a really nice bike, had thought about selling my pro to buy one

    Suitability wise the XLS is the bike for me but I'm put off by the full black frame & I don't like the Flanders colours :( so being swayed by a 2nd hand Pro Carbon in white or red

    Where are all these other threads? I want to see them as I have just bought a Matt black stealth, If people want to spend their money on a black bike let them.

    You know im really impressed with these bikes.
    I hired one out in Mallorca and they really do handle well. I have a Supersix at home and thought it might be a tad sluggish or soft but with the stem slammed it withstood being thrown down mountains at my limit, not the bikes!

    Fantastic value for money with ultegra. Thumbs up.

    Excellent bikes, the latest offering is full Ultegra 6800 11 speed for £999.
    OP hope you enjoy it, looks good in white.

    Planet X have just priced me up the N2A with Campag Chorus and the RT45 Tubs - Ummm Tasty I might have to upgrade. The question being Guru Blue or White like the Pro Carbon. :?
