Planet X SL Carbon Build

wjperrin · February 2013

Slowly been building this up ready for summer and its now finally finished!!

Planet X SL pro frame built up with a mixture of Centaur and Veloce for the drivetrain

Wheels are shimano RS80's with Schwalbe Ultremo's

Not sure on the weight. Any questions feel free to ask.

Nice! Are you using a Marchisio cassette or something similar? I didn't think that Shimano offered a Campagnolo free hub option anymore.

wjperrin · February 2013

Hi there, I'm using an Ambrosio cassette

Smart looking machine, minimalist looking which is great. Pedals?

thesledge · February 2013

Smart. Planet X's look the dog's nadgers. I love mine, just wish I had more chance to ride it but the ball and chain....
Maybe Oscar is a frustrated Planet X owner

Thats a cracking looking bike, love the minimalist look!

Whats the spec on your chainset/cassette?

wjperrin · February 2013

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Pedals which I'm using are look Keo classics. And chain set is a compact carbon chorus with a 12-25 ambrossio cassette.

Thanks

Yeah, as the other members have said...........'sweet'!

I'm biased of course as I have the same frame (albeit with the older font frame graphics)! What size is it......a 'large'?

My own (sized medium) has a mix of ultegra,dura ace and sram red (heinz 57 I know but it works well enough) and weighs in at 7.2kg's.

Apart from your bar taping

it looks really well.

wjperrin · February 2013

Haha the tape is awful, will try and redo it in the future.

Todd Sweeney · February 2013

That's a lovely looking bike. What size frame is it if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking of the same frame myself.

tlw1 · February 2013

looks good!

I'm not normally a fan of these - I think they can look a bit weird - but that's really tasty - very nice.

Black saddle and bar tape maybe?

wjperrin · February 2013

Hi guys, frame is an XL (58cm I think). Did consider black tape and saddle but fancied adding a bit of colour and have always liked white tape. Took it out for a ride yesterday as it is was nice and dry and couldn't fault it! Rides amazing need to make a few little adjustments but would definitely recommend one to anyone!

Damn you!

i think you bought the last Ambrosio Shimano splined/Campag spaced cassette in the country....cant find a 12-28 anywhere!!

Nice looking bike by the way.....

dazz_ni45 · February 2013

Really really like this bike.

Love the little flashes of red which ties in with the rs80's.

Have you considered black tape and saddle?

wjperrin · February 2013

I think I got my cassette from uk bike store, you could try them? Had no faults at all with the shifting unlike some people have said.

RideOnTime · March 2013

still good...
