lilactime, I don't own one of these bikes ( more of a "steel is real" disciple ), but Brant Richards who owns Planet X and its sister company On*One is a genuine bloke. He took time out to run a thread of e-mails with me, to get the set up of the cantis on my 'crosser as good as they possibly can be.;)
I agree, top bloke!
For a Yorkie... ;)
He may have had a lancastrian parent, like meself;)Quote:

As a matter of intrest i qualified for last years national ten on the PX and had failed on several previous seasons riding my made to measure full on tri bike:rolleyes:

Its sooooo exciting.
I very nearly clicked 'Buy' on just that one today.... Next payday maybe...Quote:

That would be quite cool: my work isn't VATable, so I can't claim the VAT back on the bike at the moment, only the tax...Quote:

They're struggling to get good staff in Poland.... (That's not a joke by the way!)
