Boy, Thanks a million for all of the comments and feedback. I did my first race on it toda an it got loads of attention at the race HQ which was nice.

Solarider, I like your keen eye for details but yeah the seat being forward is very much a positional thing. I just like to be seated as far forward over the BB as possible, its just where i feel most powerful.

Gravity, the Fast Forward wheels are great, really responsive, super stiff and very smoot. They float nicley over rougher roads and for m they are great becuase they dont get effected by side winds as nuch as my Planet x wheels.

Cerro, Im still playing with te cockpit position but generally i do ride with hoods slightly up because when they are pointing flat or down they just make me feel like i am lurching forward to much.

And Finally, Spytech, rgarding your question abot harness, yes it is harsher that the Nanolight but this is relected more in road feel and feedback rather than discomfort or fatigue. I still feel like i could do a 7 or 8 hours on it easy.

Again, cheers for the all the commenst.

Dan

but why do you then have a negative stem? i mean, if you then has to have the hoods and handlebar pouting up

Cuz that's what I had on my other bike and have just swapped it on to this one. Once I have figured out my position I will be buying a 6 degree rise stem.

aha then i understand and no spacers? really like the design of the frame, a margin for that price

The planet X SL pro carbon is what I was talking about. Unfortunately I had one, and an Exocet TT bike. Was glad to be rid of them, not saving money by buying cheap frames again.

Very nice - I was contemplating a Venge frame at the end of the summer, but why wouldn't I buy one of these at 1/3 price ?

The black & red will match my existing kit perfectly too...

Nice, read... thanks for the report. only trouble is, i do not have deep/aero wheels. i dont think it would look good with out them... does that sound a bit vain? if possible, do you have open pro type wheels you can take a pic with? thanks in advance.


i just checked the website and they have the white with silver. looks really good!!!

That white looks quite nice....

Man that thing is HOT!!

no problem, thanks for the pic. it doesn't look bad at all. so is your opinion still the same about the frame? i am leaning towards the white. i already have a white bike with some white parts.

I also have been waiting weeks and months for the N2A and finally got my frame today

However, I was more than a little disappointed when I put it on the scales 1272g for a Large. WTF!!!
I thought I might have a wrong size or something, but then when I checked the P-X website I see they have revised the weight upwards by almost 300g


Danny, I'm curious to know if you weighed your frame or were you quoting the listed weight?

I'm disgusted!!! This is heavier than my old and battered P-X SL Pro Carbon.

Frame - 1272g
Fork (Uncut) - 407g
Seatpost - 201g
Headset - 134g
Total = 2042g

EDIT: this turned out to be an X-Large as they gave the wrong size, Large weights confirmed on next page

Mmmmm, maybe my local shop need to recalibrate there scales..

Oh well, it's light enough for me anyway. I don't think you can ask for much considering is only £800

I've just realised they gave me an XL frame instead of a Large, so the weights I've quoted above are actually for an XL.

Now that this frame is going back anyway, I''ll have to confirm the L frame weight before I decide if it's what I want.

Either way it's exceptionally bad form from Planet-X to advertise a frame (size L) as being 950g for over 6 months and then when they finally get to market now they quote a medium as being 1240g.
That's an increase of over 30%!!!!!
