Have we discussed the new Planet-X road frames yet?

Nothing obvious on a search, so…..

New 2012 road frames announced today.

I’m quite liking the look of the N2A. Industrial meets / sleek in a big blob of carbon at a reasonable price.

not really my cup of tea, much prefer the semi compact looks of the older models

Nor my cup of tea, far too black and boxy, wheres the style?

RD agreed 😯

i like it, get it in a 50 or 52, my size witha smaller (maybe 135 -138) headtube and it would look awesome. Stick some stealth black no decals 50mm clinchers and you’d have a grwat looking bike.

Mighty tempted for the money

I quite like the N2A, and the guru looks proper tidy. Takes all sorts, I guess.

The Sarto looks right.

I prefer my Nanolight. Those new ones look pretty awful. PX – drunk when making decisions?

wow, I love them.

I like that they do things differently at on-one/PX.

If everyone rode a PX road bike then im sure you’d like these new ones just as much

They look the business; chunky, modern, aggressive, different. Like.

I was quite scared to open this thread. We’ve been busy, and still are busy.

The N2 became the N2A on Sunday morning when I decided to slip another model in the range. Started on that last night, and off to Taiwan on Saturday to sort it out.

Brant – so does the ‘A’ mean the other model is similar, perhaps without the nod to the aero features?

When do we get the geo / size info?

umm perhaps there are growers. 🙂

Edit – well after looking at all the photo’s I like them, Well especialy the N2. I like the internal cable routing and the shape of the seat stays.

likeylotty

the seat stay/TP/DT junction looks great.

most roadie lovers are far too obsessed with ‘italian style’, whatever that is.
PX is like a smack in the face to the white lycra boys.

I reckon Darth Vader would ride an N2.

yep

I rather like those. Really rather like them. Nice details & they ‘look’ light 🙂

Brant – so does the ‘A’ mean the other model is similar, perhaps without the nod to the aero features?

Yes – that’s what I decided. A round seat tubed, less aero-ish, but not ‘un aero” frame.

How much does the RT57 frame weigh?

Up until now i hadn’t seen anything that i would have swapped my SL Pro for, but now i want an N2A. Gonna have to start saving.

fingers crossed this means I can get my mitts on a rock bottom priced Nanolight!

N2a looks like its been designed by an mtber and in a hurry to me….

2 pence

I’m wondering how the RT57 fits into the current line up? I’m like the look of the Sarto Guru but can’t afford/justify it.

I’m wondering how the RT57 fits into the current line up?

It’s above the Superlight Pro Carbon.

I like them, very tempting. Mr R – if you need an urban tester on London’s fine streets, to see how they cope with the sort of city life you just don’t get in your neck of the woods, feel free to send one my way. I won’t even charge you for the feedback.

didn’t meant to kill the thread, sorry about that.

nah, too subtle, needs bigger stickers.

Big improvements…I likey!…

Wow, another fugly looking plain black carbon bike with crappy graphics from On-One..

Who would have thought it eh?? 🙄

PX is like a smack in the face to the white lycra boys.

No it’s not, it’s fitting in with the en vogue trend for aero road bikes like the Spesh Venge, Scott Foil, Cervelo S5 etc, and it certainly looks better than the latter! The one thing it’s not doing is rocking the boat!

They all look a bit ‘different’ to traditional road frames, but I think the N2A looks good.

I have thought many many times about replacing my aged road frame with a Planet X one but I’m always put off by the graphics.
I know it’s a bit shallow, but they instantly cheapen the look. The graphics look like the vinyl stickers people sell on eBay.
I wonder if you can buy them unstickered?

Both the guru and N2A look great, seems delaying my PX road bike purchase has paid off, hopefully they arrive in time for spring

Looks OK to me although I doubt it’s seen much of the inside of a wind tunnel and agree PX stickers look pretty naff. Seems a lot of unnecessarily hostile comments though…

I think it’s bang on trend (i.e. all those frames njee20 mentioned, plus BMC). That’s not to say i want one though.
