MTB_Roadie Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I am thinking pf upgrading to carbon, found this frame on the planet x website. What do you guys think? Its also a very good price as I can't afford to spend R18k+ on a frame.
Weight Weenie Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I'm not a roadie but I think for the price and Kiwi's backup you cant really go wrong
Yang Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Looks nice. Just make sure you can walk the talk- you don't want to be overtaken by okes on skedonks riding something that looks that fast.
MTB_Roadie Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 lol...believe me I am overtaking loads of nice bikes with my Scott Speedster 5S, just need something faster and smoother It is just the guarentee of the frame I don't see that kind of worries me

CyclesProSA Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 whats size frame are you looking for and whats your budget?
MTB_Roadie Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 well if you can give a brand new full carbon frame with headset and seatpost clamp weighing at +/- 1.4kg's (fork included) for below R7000, we can talk. I take a large.
