What’s the difference between the XLS and Planet X Full Monty? Both seem suited with discs etc?

The Merlin is out of stock in my size unfortunately but it doesn’t seem far off the XLS. Anything else I can look at?

Well races are something I’ve thought about in the future but just something that’s a bit ‘do it all’. Think the Alpkit might be slightly out of my price range. Just seems the spec of the XLS outweighs the rest of the bikes around that sort of price.

@theboyneeds – Why do the tyres struggle? Too big for the frame or is it something to do with the wheelset?

Take it there’s nothing Carbon for that price elsewhere then? I did see the boardman, still a pretty good entry level bike I take it?
