Planetx Pro Carbon to a SuperSix (or other)- tell the difference?

I thought we had all diagnosed horas bicycle aspergers in 2006.

it all goes way way before that

So when am I getting paid 😛

Well if you don’t think 1.4 cm isn’t a big difference when there is only 1.5 cm between sizes on the Cannondale then you really don’t get road bikes.

Just pay Cynic-al his money then stick it on the classifieds in a month when you realise it’s too big.

You sold the PX already then hora?

Gents, it was all a scam.

This is stw’s finest off-classifieds-for-sale thread EVVVVVAH!

58cm 2015 Supersix for sale 😎

Too big for me. Sorry.

How much are you after for it al?

Massivley reduced to £500 ono, its mint.

How tall are you Al?

Yeh, I guess that’s a good price. I’ll have a think, probably won’t bother though since I want something a bit cheaper.

Personally – no chance I’d still be selling him my bike after this 🙄

My 2p worth Hora..

Get a 56 SS put a 110 or 120 stem on it (preferably a 120)

Dales do feel big, they have a lofty feel about them. Some like that, some don’t. They do ride well, feel a bit flicky and yet stable.
Never ridden a PX roadie, but from what you’ve said and learned over the last few months on it, your dead feel and wobble suggests it’s not right for you. You could stick with it, I’d suggest you’d get bored very soon and stop riding it. Sell it whilst you can and seek out a Dale if thats what you’ve got your eyes on.

Neither will make you Gilbert BTW, for that to happen you need to put some miles and effort in learning how any bike rides then get a training regime sorted out to really enjoy Roadies. MTB’s they are not.

As for all the other too-ing and fro-ing on this thread, well it’s been quite a fun read.

2 pen’eth over.

6′ 1″ MussEd

To be honest, at 6’1″ i’d be looking for a 56. Canondales come up pretty big, and they benefit from a slightly longer stem. Their race frames have shorter head tubes (caad 8 excepted), and Hora, you’d not get the bars high enough and you wouldn’t notice much difference anyway.

Frame size and stem will affect handling more than material.

Avoid the white ones, keeping them clean is painful and they show the scratches dreadfully!

That’s your opinion but its a personal thing.

I would find a 56 too short, certainly didn’t notice the stem length an issue as regards handling.

Err, Al, important question, what colour is it?

Thread’s gone a bit crap since page 1.

I’m a crim grrrr because I was in the process of buying it but wanted to double-check first if I was making the right move.

😀

Genius thread! I applaud all involved – most entertaining 🙂

lunge – matt grey (it’s the £1700 Sram one)

I am 6″2″ may I have pics sent to rsdonald50AThotmailDOTCOM please Al.

duckman… here. Quite nice. I’d be tempted if I was in the market for such a thing and it was a size smaller. Actually Al, I’ll take it… oh hold on, maybe I’ll just ask the forum for some advice first 🙂

Very nice,but I have had a look at the geometry and I fit a 60cm a bit better,especially as I have had a number of road bikes over the year and know what length,tt, standover I like etc.

Interesting range of views on sizing! I chose the 58 for TT length, would have happily had lower standover.

Ok. They only had a 60 and a 56. My nuts sat squarely on the 60 and **** its a massive gate. The 56 there was a couple inch gap but the TT felt short for me. Thoughts?

I’m 6’2″ with 33″ inside leg have a 56 super six, stem slammed. They do come up big. I reckon 58 would be too big for you.

Thoughts?

Yup, as I said a 56 with a 120 stem, maybe some 40 bars to pull you in a bit too.

Bugger. It’d been perfect if a smidge smaller. Apologies cynical al. When it comes to roadbikes I dither a lot partly because I don’t know how it all works.

I have a PX Carbon, seems alright, quite like it. Didn’t realise it was rubbish.

Still I reckon the bike can get swapped out when it becomes the limiting factor, until then why bother?

Who said it was rubbish? Yet another example of internet people jumping three steps ahead to get to a conclusion.

Right lets gets this straight:

1) Planet-X are rubbish so of course a Cannondale will be better.
