    I have a Planet X Pro Carbon frame for sale. Used for a few months at the start of the year but it didn't suit me, too stretched out so I got a Cannondale CAAD 10 to replace it. There's about 1500 km on it. There is a couple of little scratches here and there from being in the car etc. but it was never crashed. Perfect cond.

    Size medium, white and I will include fork, FSA headset and seat clamp. Can post pictures if interested. €300.00.

    Same as this, see the geometry here too.

    Zippe, I have a Ridley Orion (Medium) that I was trying to sell, built back up after my planet-x seatpost debacle, but now want to sell to buy another planet-x.

    You can have it for the 300 euro (frame, fork and headset) that Redmaxi is asking. Frame is in excellent condition, I've been riding it around Howth the last few weeks and it's still a great bike, it just doesn't "fit" the way the planet-x did.

    177cm, 5'9 and HALF and inch"! The half is important.

    It actually used to fit fine, I just find after having a few other bikes in between it isn't low down enough. You can see that the actual setup looks ok, the saddle height is fine (71.2 cm centre to top) but the head tube on this is a little taller than what I like these days, thus the "slammed" stem.

    It's still a lovely bike to ride, very smooth over rough surfaces and very responsive when climbing.

    I can leave it built up if you are interested in trying it out, though since I offered it to Zippe first I suppose he has first refusal. I'm in Ballsbridge for anyone interested.

    its in my size range so...im a tad taller but have short legs...also fonder of the aforementioned longer head tube...
    if zippe doesnt bite put me at the top of the Q..
    cheers

    Well, here she is, all cleaned up and rearing to go. After a good clean clean it really is like new. I will be removing the ultra-torque cups but every thing else you see attached in the picture is included. Frame is located in Mallow, Co. Cork.

    Hey,
    Pics look good,and offer asking,I'll pm you my details now and sort out payment,

    Cheers zip,

    Thanks lads for the other offers,the px fits better for this lad as he is a bit smaller than me and I ride a small Ridley Orion my self so I can get the bars down low,the medium in the Ridley would be a bit to big for him,

    Thanks for the reply's

    Are you still selling yours?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 297 ✭✭redmaxi


    Thanks Zippe. I will send her on next week. I know your buddy will be impressed with it, it's a very light and responsive frame.

    Countrykid, it's yours if you want it.

    I'm in Ballsbridge, you are welcome to try it out before you buy. I can have it stripped and ready to go in the same day.

    Yep, I have the original geometry chart, 55cm top tube, works for me with a 110mm stem (is got a 100 in the photo).

    I'm here most days and evenings, just pick one that suits and I'll be here. Not Thursday.

    @Dirk, I would be interested in the Ridley if it doesn't suit CountryKid.
    Can drop by whenever suits you.
