Purchased: Planet-X Pro Carbon w/ SRAM Red

[jiggerypokery]

You've bought well believe me! I had the SL Pro Carbon until recently (stolen) with SRAM Force throughout and it was a lovely ride, nippy but forgiving and comfortable at the same time and as well as being fast on the flats its a great climbing bike too.

Replaced my SL with the N2A Guru, again with Force, and PX have outdone themselves again - I just love their bikes!

Massive thanks to Pedrosanchezo for his build on the Ribble R872 but I've plumped for the Planet-X Pro Carbon which should be delivered later this week.

Overall it cost me £1,299.99 complete with the SRAM Red groupset. I'll update this thread later with the complete build spec, photo's and review once I've received it.

To say I can't wait is an understatement. It's going to be a big jump from my Giant Defy 4 with the Shimano Sora which I ride at the moment.

...with the SRAM RED groupset - are you sure?

EDIT: ah, SRAM RED front and rear mechs

What about shifters or am i missing something ?

You should also get the shifters too.

Planet-X have just emailed to tell me my bike will be ready to pick up tomorrow at 10am. To say I can't wait is an understatement.

Bike picked up and it looks amazing, well, to me it does anyway. Working over the weekend so not going to have chance to get out on it so Monday can't come quick enough. I'll post some pictures of it once I've stopped drooling.

What ?? Not even been 'round the block' on it ???

Hope you have many happy miles together.

Oh dear, I appear to have chosen a bike that matches my old water bottle!

I need to buy some new pedals - I just stuck on an old pair to be getting on with. Meanwhile after only managing a couple of very short rides so far, it's feeling very, very nice to ride - everything has a positive feel. I just wish the temperature would go up a bit - the wind on Blackheath was nasty.

As a fellow PX Pro owner all I can say is enjoy

The front can be a bit wild at times but never crashed it (yet) as a result if loosing the front. Very much a point and shoot bike.

Just had my first outing on the bike. Only a short one at 10 miles but my first impressions are good. Blown away at how responsive the bike is. Looks like I'll be getting a few PB's on this bike that's for sure.
