I've recently been thinking about getting a new road bike.
I've had my Planet X nanolight since 2011 I think and it's good, but I have itchy feet.
I didn't want a standard Mamil bike, I knew that, and wanted something a bit hip hop, but other than that wasn't sure. My thoughts swung around from an off the peg Ti of some sort (I've got a sweet Burls fixeh lo-pro and I like Ti), to a Look 695, to getting Rourke to build something in 853.
But since I don't actually need a new bike, quite enjoy dicking about building things and am a cheapskate I've decided to pimp the nanolight.
I've always liked the frame and am happy with how it goes, so I think I'm just going to change up the cosmetics.

Here's how it was:
