This is my Planet X sl pro carbon build. I have started swapping parts from the cube across.

Both brakes on and set up.
I've also got a FSA team issue carbon crankset on its way.
I taped the bars last night aswell, they feel very different compared to my previous easton ea30 (diameter of the bar being larger).
All being well the cranks should arrive by Wednesday so I can get it finished.

She is finally finished. Bottom bracket turned up today so got it fitted and got the drivetrain finished off.
I dont have a finished weight for it yet but it is considerably lighter than the cube. Feels it on the quick ride around the block too.

The colour scheme's not for me but otherwise I'm a fan of that.

The colour scheme doesn't really work, but the forks came with the frame at a bargain price.....and they are one of the lightest forks i've ever held. I will be changing the wheels and stem asap.

Nope but the cube that most of the parts were pinched off was a triple, so i had triple front derailleur and brifters.
why would you think just cause he got a triple, he must have knee problems

my first thought was - TRIPLE!!! but if you live in nottingham and ride in the peaks often it could have some use for an OAP!

Funny thing triples...
...they often provoke negative reactions due the extra ring but then along comes Shimano/SRAM/The Italian Mob and they slap yet another unnecessary cog on the already crammed full rear cassette and hey - people go gaga with delight! Funny world!

Looks good to me. Agree about the forks though.

I stuck with a triple because that was what my cube came with and I got the chainset super cheap. I have grown to like the red and black....However im tempted by doing something completely custom with it soon.
