Planet X EC130E Shimano Ultegra 6800 Aero Road Bike - Are they good?

[gmw492]

Seen the Planet X Ec 130e bike on offer with Ultegra for £1499 ,searched forums but not really found if anyone owns one,are they good,it's aero so unsure as it may be too aggressive positioning for me so would have to travel to store to try one for comfort and size,bit of a journey so before I contemplate going thought I would get some advice,as I live closer to Ribble,Merlin,Dolan,Formby cycles and Leisure Lakes there are bikes I can try before I buy as they say,don't want to chance mail order form Canyon ,Rose etc,any thoughts

I'm sorry I can't advise on the Planet X but this Forme Thorpe Pro Carbon with Ultegra and Mavic Ksyrium wheels is worth a look at £899! Unfortunately you won't be able to try before you buy.
They have a few other bikes, well reduced and worth looking at too.

Yes looks a good deal thanks,really wanna try one and bike fit my next bike as I was caught out on a wrong size previously as I made the mistake of going for size chart which wasn't accurate for myself
