have about a grand to spend on a dark-sider!! really like the look of the planet x pro sl carbon, in the right price bracket and looks nice. anyone got any other ideas i should look at before i spend out??
I bought a Ribble Sportive Racing recently. It's a great bike but I could not reccommend Ribble Cycles in any way - my experience of them is poor.
The Planet X looks great - brill value.
Planet X looks like a steal. I've got a specialized allez elite which I love. but a grand for full carbon and ultegra SL looks top class
Isn't there a Boardman carbon road bike for about £1000?
Yup there is!

Dolan mythos and Focus Cayo are both around that price. However a more practical and usable all rounder particularly if it is your only road bike would be a kinesis racelight TK2. Great mudguarded trainer in winter and - mudguards decent sportive/audax/club ride in summer + it will even take light touring duties.
another vote for PX. I dont own one obviously - Im not jey or owt, but the missus has and its superbly built with top notch kit on.

What's it for - road racing, sportive, just bimbling, summer or winter or both? Should make a big difference to what you might want to go for.
The PX is good - but the headtube is a little short for me (as are treks) to get a good fit on. More than 10cm of saddle to bar drop imho is too much and with crazy crane legs I need a well sized head tube to get even an aggressively sensible position.
hunt out bargains and build one up, far more bang for your buck.
Got a 56cm 2008 New Old Stock Kona Kapu available for just a little more.
Lightweight steel frame and fork so will last a lifetime if looked after.
Mail me for pics if interested robin.stones@tesco.net
