Experiences please!

Thinking of putting one together for next years efforts!

I've got the Planet X XLS (very similar) and I love it.

If the route was hilly and technical I wouldn't take it for a long ride TBH, but its fast over boring terrain, I rode from Ravenglass to South Shields with a bivi out on Hadrians wall last year, carrying all the gear on route 72 and did it in under 33 (or was it 36) hours including the 2 train rides back, very comfortable and enjoyable.

If you are to take it up hills off road you'll need a bigger cassette on the back as the stock one.


This is the kit the bike carried and I had nothing on my back for the above trip

I've got one. Owned it for the last 7-8 weeks and absolutely love it.

Kitted out with SRAM Red (although am thinking of switching to Ultegra), FRM XMD 333 wheels, and running Smart Sam tyres for general use. I've got some lovely Clement Crusade tyres for racing.

I'll be using for a 10-day tour of Spain next year, and will also use it for CX racing (as of next month).

Not sure how to post an image, but I uploaded one here:
