@fibre – Nothing at all is putting me off the Planet-X frames, there indeed may be some future negotiations to be had with another STWer on that front ;-)….Plus I’ve had a carbon456 before now and it was like a tank but without the weight….so definitely still considering….
But there’s just a bit of query on the sizing of the PX frames, as the geometry is different to what I’ve previously ridden so I still can’t quite figure which size would be best.
Some of the chinese options look to have geometry more in line with what I’ve ridden before.
Various things are keeping me indoors a little too much at the moment – winter, kids, work….so in the meantime I’m just planning a ‘new’ build to keep me sane….
