Anyone who has ridden a low-end Planet X frame should be able to tell you what a dire lump of crap they are. If you are still seduced, wait for the sales after Xmas, when they will probably be <£100.
But why don't you find a nice old Dawes Galaxy, made of 531 and with quality components, for £125-200 spend £50 fixing it up. It will be a far superior bike on the long run.
That was also a possibility. Got offered a Raleigh rapide in 531 for good money so was thinking about that. Just seen their frameset online and wondered what people’s opinions where.
