Any Planet X owners?

[QUOTE 4042885, member: 259"](Not being rude but..) how many bikes do you buy a year, Steve? [/QUOTE]

Usually not more than 2. Ive just bought my Koga Solicio, this Planet X for Jannie maybe. But Morten on here is from Denmark and has just made a wooden bike and I would like a wooden scooter. So I may chat to him. :0)

I was looking for a recumbent, but then the Koga Solicio turned up at a great price and so the recumbent is on the back burner. I was also looking at the Genesis Datum, but the Koga took its place. I dont get as many as I would like but I am just about biked out for now.

That is unless a Cliff Pratt bike turns up. But that will be cheap.

Do we have any Planet X owners on here.

I am considering getting Jannie this bike for next season.

It gets great reviews as do all Planet X bikes. But so we have anyone with personal experience of Planet X.

I have had the pro Carbon Ultegra for 18 months, great bike.Came with Shimano wheels which I had lntended to upgrade but have not got round to it yet,may not bother.
If you do decide to go for this bike(I'm sure you won't be disappointed ) I would visit the shop if poss.
I did as I was unsure about sizing.They put a bike on a turbo took a few measurements almost a mini bike fit.
Bike is really comfortable . I am not the most supple but can ride this bike all day.
Only prob is if they still use Yodal for deliveries.Not sure if I have been unlucky but I would class them as crap.

I'm looking at getting my first Planet X bike when this beast comes out next year...

 

[Crandoggler]

I got an email about that today.

Prices start at £2000.

Thanks for that Pawl. We cannot visit the shop as we live in Denmark. The size for Jannie will be a 54cm or a medium. If I get one I will contact them about packaging.

What an abomination on every level I wouldn't pay £20 for it

Each to their own however

 

[steveindenmark]

She is about the same size as you. Both her road bikes are 54cm. I can discuss it with Planet X though.

 

[vickster]

Should be fine then, not the biggest 54cm frame I found

 

[Crandoggler]

I'm 6ft 1 on a 56cm, and I think it's about right.

Oh yeah, you would. Then strip it for parts and sell the frame at a profit.

I've got an rt-80 which had its first ride today. Very nice and good service from Px when I was up there.

 

[Saluki]

I have 2 PXs and adore them both. I would say to go for it, the are fab bikes and great value for money.

I've a Pro Carbon which I've fettled a bit with (Ultegra di2). Lovely bike for the money. I'm 5'10" and ride the 56cm and it suits me fine.
