I used to have one of the old RWD Volvos with a 3l straight 6, creamy smooth engine.
I didn't buy it from planet X.

Trying to get this back on topic - PlanetX have a new Titanium bike out- https://www.planetx.co.uk/c/q/bikes/road-bikes/holdsworth-helm
But nothing else seems to have changed on their site. Hopefully that's good news?

Wonder if that's to Replace the Spitfire?
( No not the plane or car.......)

Good morning,
I broke my commute bike frame this week and am contemplating a new bike, but no matter now pretty the video Planet X are not even under consideration.
The primary reason is that I am very unsure of their ability to offer and fulfill a warranty.
If I were to cough up the £2.5k plus for one of those titanium jobbies what happens in the event of an issue say 10 months down the line? I can easily imagine one of the following;
I can imagine many people who are considering a non trivial purchase to have similar concerns and these concerns rather than the actual products causing the revived company to fail.
I know that I am are getting used to £2.5k being almost entry level, but when it comes to give up the credit card number I still see it as a lot of money for very little bike.
Bye
Ian

If I were to cough up the £2.5k plus for one of those titanium jobbies what happens in the event of an issue say 10 months down the line? I can easily imagine one of the following;
- The great revival and restructuring plan failed and Planet X have closed down, to my mind this is much more likely than an existing business closing.
- Planet X are still in business but do not have anything to replace the broken parts as they are just
- Selling clothes
- Selling basic aluminum bikes a-la Halfords Carrera
- Will be struggling, agree that a replacement is due, but somehow it never arrives;
- Stock when it arrives goes to new customers,
- Planet X no longer deal with the original supplier and haven't replaced them

My whole fleet of bikes ie 10+ don't add up to 2.5k and not one of them is what I classify as entry level
