How should we test the Planet X SL Pro Carbon Hybrid in London

How come, aren't you between jobs?

long story. i am working my notice, but 2 other surveyors have walked out, leaving me to actually do some work. in my fucking notice period. outrageous.

you took it on the thameslink? or is cross-rail up and running already?

wahey!

Dark times

no. give it to somebody who claims to be a photographer/graphic designer but really only plays around with a dodgy copy of CS and a borrowed DSLR.
they can't be hard to find.

I think Joe is busy this week.

Dark times

i haven't done any proper work for years.

i tried to be funny, and said to the boss that i bought the suit to wear to job interviews, not client meetings, but it didn't go down well.

give it to your average flouro commuter and tell them they're giving away free 'hump' rucksack covers over the other side of town...

give it to a cyclist. (if you can find one on here amongst the fashionistas and charlatans)

ps. by the way, I need a bike to pull kiddie trailer and such, go off-road maybe - I haven't decided yet, as I've been using my dad's Dutch bike for the purpose.

Hand a load out for us to use on GSIAD V. Should be a proper test of London riding right there. In fact, come down for it and join in on one (no pun intended).

Actually, can I have it for test while you build my bike up?

get that stupid bitch Kate Hoey to test it,she knows all the best cycle lanes in LONDON

I think Joe is busy this week.

Not that busy actually...

Take it on the bridges ride, and see how well it stands up to being drunkenly crashed

Tom, are you back in full effect mate?

No, it's taken a bit longer than I'd hoped. Walking around without crutches most of the time now but the physio won't let me back on the bike yet which has sucked with the weather over the last few weeks.

Cheers Gav! any ideas who?

PinkGottiMobbs would know who to ask as he's a north local. Flick him a pm.

Mobbs is now down under - different time zones and all that.

Death TT was always more about the fixed - last year's 'Swaintoux' was more a geared challenge (although a fair few did this fixed too).

That said the fastest fixed guy on Death TT was one of the 5th Floor boys I think - insanely quick.

Bring it up to Norths and we'll give it a spin - get a range of times - winner keeps it?

lend the bike to me to ride from Berlin to London on.

Does it barspin?

Hippy will tests its strength & speed

Snort it? Is that healthy?

Since most people on here only commute a mile, you'll probably need a large number of volunteers to test it. Use a 54cm. Sorry shortarses. Make it a relay around London or somefink. Failing that, just make it shiny and stick it in the front window of some Evans stores. Job done.

Ask someone from here to smash it with a hammer.

why would you want a fast bike in London? where is there to go fast? I suppose the Embankment, City towards Chelsea is a quick part, but there are always cars that either want to turn out on you or across you - its no place for a fast CF bike .....

Since most people on here only commute a mile,

my commute to polo is nearly 20mi
therefore im clearly a prime candidate for the bike, and the bars could be super useful in fast polo.... maybe

This...

It would be awesome to test its horizontal capabilities.

+1

That's why I went fixed

light geared bike + 10 mile commute through town = crashes/ unpleasant road rage

my commute to polo is nearly 20mi
therefore im clearly a prime candidate for the bike, and the bars could be super useful in fast polo.... maybe

Except 19 of those miles are on the train, you plank...
