    Hey guys, this might be useful for someone here, i'm selling my Planet X Carbon due to my departure from Ireland in couple of months in search of work elsewhere, it is with great reluctance i sell this gem but thats life. I bought this bike under advice from people on these boards and it is a great bike by all accounts, i received the bike sometime in June and have attached the sheet showing all specs etc. Its Black, Medium in size, has Shimano Ultegra 6620 SL SPD pedals included, cost me about €1450, looking for €950. Bike is available for viewing in evenings and weekends, about 500 miles maximum on it, super bike, seeking good rider!

    More info on bike available here, bike is in immaculate condition by the way, can through in MTB cycling shoes size 9 if they're any good to anyone:

    How can it be considered 'Dura-Ace build' when the chainset, brakes, casette, chain are not Dura-Ace?

    No need to apologise dude. It's Dura-Ace/Ultegra mix, nothing wrong with that.

    What is the all up weight is it by the way?

    The manufacturers web site says "Dura-Ace build", which is the misleading thing.

    It seems 50-50 Dura-Ace and 105-level stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that either), and there's no mention of the BB on the site.

    Those levers are really expensive, but have "Dura-Ace" printed on them which makes it much faster, obviously.

    Lovely bike though, if you don't sell it I might make an insulting offer. ;)

    Aye, sold to me! :D Haven't had time to take it for a proper spin yet, just a mile or so up the road and back. So far so good, but still need to dial in the settings etc.

    Well done Ken, it's a nice bike and I thought the price hollywoodhoppy was looking for was very reasonable. Had a go on emty's one and it seemed very responsive indeed.
