My ex frame. Nicely pimped up but I had Sram red bar tape on it. Looked well too. Good luck with it, you got a bargain there.

She's being spoilt rotten. She'll be ready for the road as soon as new inners/outers show up. I may well have to order red tape just to see how it looks.

Bikes on one side. Rug rats on the other. You can never be to careful That's her bedroom in the background

never mind the bike, which is nice(bar the handle bar tape) for me its the use of quality toilet roll that makes this OP the daddy!

My arse deserves a touch of quality it gets enough abuse on the saddle.

Did anybody run discs during the cx season?

I did. Why?

(I have no comparison to cantis though)

I ran discs this season. I can say this much, they stopped me when I needed them to and they didn't make that horrible canti noise while doing so.:D

I like everything about this except the saddle position.

My Planet-X RT58 Carbon.
In the end I upped the cranks and pedals to Ultegra so its full matchy matchy, and held out for the Matte black..

So glad I did. Only one half decent spin on it so far but going to ring the neck off it this weekend

Lovely bike. Very stealthy.
Are there any Planet X decals on it?

I used to cycle with those plastic half-clips made by Zefal. They're very good for what they are, keep your shoes in position on the pedal and release easily in case of a fall, but they're no match for SPDs

I may still have a spare set, need to check, PM me if you're interested

Do you cycle on flat pedals with those black resin toe clips screwed on to them? How do you find that? Im thinking of trying other options like that again, starting to hate SPD.

I just recently (2 cycles ago) swapped them for SPD on both my commuter bike and the PX, still getting used to the SPD and wouldnt rule out the flat/resin combo for commutuing as its really felxible, any shoe etc, and easy to get in and out of, but so far im loving the SPD's on the weekend bike, ive yet to comute with them though..

They were just on in that picture for testing until the SPD arrived..
