Planet X London Road. Condition is Used.
20 inch frame with 24 inch wheels.
I am selling my son in laws bike collection, unfortunately he has passed away so no longer needs them, I am selling the bikes to financially help out my daughter. I know nothing about the bikes but I do know he was a cycling fanatic and loved his collection that much that he had a rough bike to ride to work. He didn’t have a drivers licence and the bikes were his preferred mode of transport.
Founded over 25 years ago, Planet X has built up a good reputation for competitively priced carbon-fibre road bikes since it first started selling carbon bikes back in 2005. The Planet X London Road, with its aluminium frame and 32mm tyres, doesnt fit into this bracket, but with hydraulic disc brakes on asub-1,000 bike, it certainly represents very good value for money.
The Planet X London Road is described as a jack-of-all-trades, but its on the daily commute where it really thrives. The aluminium frame may look a little odd with a top tube that is thin at either end, but swells in the middle, but does a great job of gliding over the rough tarmac that many of us have to deal with on our rides into work.
The carbon fork certainly helps in this regard, with a seriously smooth front end that never puts any pressure on your wrists and forearms even during long rides, and although the aluminium (rather than carbon) seatpost doesnt do quite as good a job at the back, its still a lot more comfortable than some similarly-priced carbon-framed bikes.
But just because the Planet X London Road is smooth, it doesnt mean that its dull. In fact the ride can be surprisingly lively when you want it to be, and an injection of power through the pedals to get up a short sharp rise or to sneek through a set of traffic lights is rewarded with a burst of acceleration.
