Advice - new frame or new bike?

ajk24 · 20-11-2010 8:29pm #1

I have a Planet-X SL Pro Carbon with a combination of DA-7900 and Ultegra groupset and a FSA SLK MEGXO Compact crankset. Model B Wheels. I've had since early 2009 but it has very little mileage (<1000) long term injuries having a couple other bikes for winter and commuting. Paid around €1800 for it.

Which of the following would ye recommend please ?

1. Keep it as is.
2. Buy a new frame set and transfer the bits and pieces. - sell the PX
frameset
3. sell it and buy a completely new bike.
4. Keep it and buy a new bike

Hi ajk24, is the question about upgrading or down grading? Maybe I'm reading your post incorrectly but I'm not sure what your trying to get at.

5. Give it to your boardsie neighbour who needs a second bike...:D

good point - original post not very clear.

upgrading is what I have in mind - i don't think i would get as good a groupset at the same price again.

planet-x frameset is currently €455.

if my budget were to stretch to 1200-1500 would I get a much better frameset? suggestions on that?
