I think i'm down to a choice between these two - finally after 24 pages.......

If you have a budget of £1200,then shell out for the better spec.
Then you have the bike you want.

So the £899 version is Sora and similar stuff?

 

[Milkfloat]

OK, here is the deal. Tell me what sort of budget you have and what style of riding you do. Like me you love a bargain, so I will only look at heavily discounted bikes. I will provide a list and we can run a poll on the forum. Deal?

Spec it to your size and wants on their website and see how much it is no one can speculate on how much your bike might cost you

 

[potsy]

Sounds like accy wants someone else to do all the work of choosing his bike, will he be getting somebody else to ride it too?

A long long time ago,he said his budget was £1200.
A step up in spec from the £899 one would be less than that I think.
I agree,spec it to your size,but here's the problem.
As we all know,it's better to judge a bike by actually sitting on it.
Buying a bike(a brand you are not familiar with),online is a gamble always.

Ok. Right I prefer a more relaxed sportive/audax style. My rides average around 30 miles. I want a bike with a bit of colour,not grey or graphite as i have 2 in that "colour" already. I'm thinking of spending no more than £1300,but i'll stretch to £1500 for a genuine bargain

I'll call BS on that. I've never had to activate a card like that. What if you live nowhere near an ATM?

I had to to activate contactless payment

£899 is SRAM rival on that Planet X the extra depends on the finishing kit tyres etc you choose

It comes to this with the Sram Rival groupset.
Grand Total: £977.97
Though i think they're selling fast, they only display large in green now.

I did go for a carbon seatpost and other bits and bobs.

 

[AndyRM]

Your postie showed up yet?!

 

[OskarTennisChampion]

SRAM is good
Win win,buy it Accy

10 minutes to go, though sometimes he's a bit late and comes around 11 o clock. I bet the fecking pin number's not here...again!!

 

[AndyRM]

The suspense is killing.

It's the most excitement these boards have ever seen!

I have a feeling they'll sell out in my size by the time dozy bollox from the bank sends my pin number. All they'll have left is that drab matt black or that camp pink!
