The weave on that carbon seems to be fairly big :?

Edit for Kuipers question (below): Well generally isnt a tighter weave on carbon an indicator of a higher quality, stiffer carbon :? Correct me if I'm wrong

Another pic from the Planet X website

Steeper seat tube at 76 vs the Chrono's 73 degrees.

Note now only available as a complete bike rather than frameset alone.

They had a great deal on a frameset when you preorder. They included the TT bars as well as the frameset for a great price. I am not sure about this frame yet so I did not take the deal and got a P2C instead

Looks better with no decals - and fence slats going vertically.

That's quite cheap.

Is there a price on the frameset alone?

Only avail as a complete build at present, soemthing to do with customs and VAT or summat, although the frame is avail as a frame in the US I believe.

For £1199 I was tempted to buy one and sell the bits I didn't need but opted for a Cervelo P3 - not the carbon I'm afraid :(
