    Is this a road frame or TT frame?

    Well, Planet X describe it as a T.T. Bike.
    Having said that, I think you could build it up as a very nice Aero road bike.

    Thats what i was thinking. The reviews suggest handling is good. Weight isn't great.

    Half tempted by it

    As a road bike, it probably would be a bit lardy and I imagine not the most comfortable.
    But the Cervelo S5 or Canyon Aeroad don't look hugely dissimilar.
    Anything wider than 23mm tyres might be a problem.

    I was looking at this myself as I was previously looking at the nanolight , but that has being discontinued , I see they are selling it as a built road bike on their site , I'd be a bit worried at the weight , although I'd be interested in popping in for a peek at it . Then again at this price point I might consider the ribble aero 883 .

    I had one in TT form. Would absolutely not recommend it as a road frame.

    Wrong geometry, harsh ride quality, heavy.
