almost looks like you've created some sort of steampunk contraption. good on you though for not drilling the fork.

the missus just shelled out 80 odd nicker for these. i think they look fairly wank, they look comfy at least i guess.

finished with random champagne 75s with dribs and drabs of red ano. what looks like one of those skeleton-esque tioga saddles that weigh little to nothing, seems out of place on a non-weight weenie build. sloping top tube and that much rake looks a bit naff but that's from a personal viewpoint.

Don't get me wrong, the brazing looks really lovely and it's clearly an effort from Tange to flex their crafting muscles in the public eye but the build seems a bit lazy/ short sighted.

Tange's "Yasujiro Nudity" built up by Bicycle Store Paris.

12 sec in massive punt from Begovic, hon the Potters!

OG bobs(aka not the new high version)? my kind of bike.

Either of those ratios would introduce my face to a wall. Can scarcely get the bottle up to switch from 48/19 to 48/18. Plus the skid patches.

I'd imagine they'd be able to provide some sort of a geo sheet if you emailed them, but still.

I meant if those are the only two pieces of information on geometry, that's bad.

"carbone composite".

As attractive as the prospect of cheap and possibly cool as fuck carbon framesets are, if the only geometry supplied is the TT length(with CTT and CTC unspecified) and fork rake, that's a big old nope.

standard seatpost in an aero tube always looks naff and ambitious gearing for brakeless road use. cockpit is a right dog's breakfast. salve as fuck though.

Dibs. Pm incoming

Word etc.

Unfortunately as it'll be my college runabout I won't have the luxury of keeping it inside somewhere away from the plebs and ham-fisted college cyclists, so the prospect of carbon salvery will have to be reserved for a "sunday best" build. Think I'm gonna pucker up and plump for a histo in a few weeks, the alu/carbon setup has served me well thus far.

or if you wish, a small discount for collection.

Top bloke!

I've my eye on a used Planet X Stealth Pro to replace my ageing Pre Cursa which is my current daily commuter/ workhorse. Anyone used the Planet X(or any other carbon frameset for this matter) for daily commuting duties? My main concern is the inevitable bumps, scratches and knocks that framesets pick up from being locked to poles/ bars etc. Is the finish on the frame tough enough or will it pick up lots of marks and gouges?
I'm not fussed on an aesthetic level but wouldn't want the carbon to deteriorate in terms of strength. I've thought that a wrap of some material over the toptube or seattube could be a good idea or something similar to give a bit of extra protection when locking. I'm cool with any additional stiffness/ aggressive geometry that the Planet X has to offer over the Pre Cursa, it's just the more delicate frame material that's my only qualm.

Perhaps this is a totally silly idea, but any feedback is very much appreciated.

that's lovely mate! v classy colourscheme.

that's the absolute tits mate.

Frame is gorgeous. Serious starting point for a first build! Will be returning fo updates(yo).

that first sets gotta be the near pinnacle of salve. gimme gimme gimme

@jacksonB 90 degree hip Tbog to fakie? sick flick!

radial... fuqdat

interesting headset configuration. lovely frame.

looks like it's been cycled into a wall.

looks great though.

shite broken strapless piece of wannabe sled. tidy piece of arse you got there, shite attitude tho.

Jesus they really are going to try and suck every last penny out of the Janoski model. Blatant munter and all.
