Was going to get myself the Planet X XLS for a bit of CX racing and general riding but as I’ll be needing the 59cm I’ll have to wait until mid December for it. I really wanted one sooner rather than later so is there anything else out there of a similar sort of spec and price (1k max budget) that anyone could recommend?

If not I’ll wait but would be nice to get a bike before December.

wait. Bloody ace bikes

Buy a medium, sell the frame and throw all parts onto a Cross light?

Looking at the moment myself really struggling to make my mind up. Just looking at the specs and if websites are to be believed the Cube Cross Race is lighter. 9kg to the XLS’s 9.61kg’s
CUBE SPEC

Buy a small and sell me the frame. I have the bits but won’t pay their price for a frame.
