    Hey , anyone any experience / opinions on the above bike , I can't find much about it online , can't find a spec . Does it come with a compact or 52/36 chainset , what wheels come with it .

    Hmmzis is the man you need to talk to here. Possibly PM him in case he doesn't see it, although his insight may be of benefit to others.

    Yes, I do have a PX Nanolight, the one with the aero version of the frame in black/white/yellow paintwork.

    I've had now a full season of racing on it plus the Raid Pyrenean and have absolutely no complaints about the frame or the components on it. It's stiff, handles corners perfectly and is fast enough on the flat to beat the hour in a 40k TT with time to spare (with added clip-on aero bars). It's comfortable enough to get you through any sportive you can throw at it as well, the stock saddle didn't agree with me much though. Even managed to get a win in the club league from a bunch gallop with the bike.

    Regarding components, the version I have is full SRAM Rival 11s with Vision Team 30 wheels and PX branded finishing kit. Weight when assembled without pedals was bang on 8kg on the luggage scales for a size S frame. The chainset is a semi-compact 52/36 affair and you get a 11-26 cassette at the back.

    Oh, I think it looks great to my eyes and the colour scheme matches the club kit colours.
