I was looking for a Planet-X Alu Mark II Frameset in XL for a few months and finally picked one up on eBay. Plan was to build it up as my everyday, do everything (on road) bike to replace my Giant TCR (posh bike) and Felt Dispatch - SS (now stolen).
I decided that Tiagra 4600 was the way to go; offering decent shift, weight and durability all in 10-speed, but still at a very decent price. I picked up parts of the groupset from this forum and others and finally a few new parts from CRC and Planet-X.
Current build is below;
Planet-X Alu Mark II Frameset (XL)
Planet-X Carbon Fork
Planet-X Headset
Shimano Tiagra 4600 STI Shifters
Shimano Tiagra 4600 Compact Chainset
Shimano 105 5700 BB
Shimano Tiagra 4600 Rear Derailleur
Shimano 105 5700 Front Mech
Shimano Ultegra 5600 Brakeset
Deda 215 Anatomic Bars
Kalloy 130mm Stem
Thomson Seat Post Clamp
Exotic Carbon Seatpost
Felt Saddle (Temporary)
Mavic Ksyrium Equipe Wheelset (Training set with tyres for mostly turbo use)
Kit to be swapped/Added:
Planet-X Bar Tape (White)
Specialized Romin 155mm - still to purchase
Shimano 105 5700 Chain
Brake and Gear Cableset
(Steerer to be cut, bike is setup for reach currently)
Original frame pics:

ignore saddle angle as the saddle is going
Should be all finished by Monday for a little bit of fun in Exmoor, Devon!
