for a long time the white SL Carbon topped my bike list, seriously good looking bike. Just love the profile on the forks.

Let us know how it rides

 

[Marin Maniac]

I have to sat that those Planet X bikes look much better in white compared to black!

 

[MadoneRider1991]

I know, the roads have cleared here, but I am now confined to the house with some kind of Satanic Flu (worse than swine flu . Was hoping to get out tomorrow, but looks like more snow is on the way...

What bike have you got?

 

[davidg]

I have the blue one...have to say I am very pleased with it...

was out on boxing day


are you out in the hills a lot? 11-27?! I have 12-25, but have a 11-28 for when I am out doing a hilly one...

I sometimes venture into the Peak District and over Holmfirth Road, so its nice to have the 27. I only had 9 gears on my last bike so the 27 is a free treat .

Oh and I am also a Fat B*st*rd, although not as Fat as I was this time last year!
