    Sorry! Had been meaning to. Here it is. Just to note, the saddle and stem have been upgraded to the one listed above.

    Thanks for your interest!

    I'm selling my Whyte Sussex RD7 road bike. It's a great winter trainer, do-it-all bike. I've ridden this to Paris, done other light tours with racks and bike packs, completed sportives, held my own on fast club runs.

    It's ideal for someone looking for a great first road bike, do-it-all bike for club runs and light touring, winter trainer or commuter bike. Here's a link to a review of the higher spec version (alu fork is replaced by carbon fork, and Shimano Sora replaced by Tiagra, but otherwise pretty much the same bike).

    I will also throw in a set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres (28c) which have only been used once :), as well as the Continental Tyres that are already on the bike.

    Spec

    Weight - 10.5kg
    Frame - 6061 Hydro Formed T6 Aluminium, Custom Drawn, Multi Butted with Post Mount Chainstay Disk mount
    Fork - Straight Bladed Alloy Front Fork, with Eyelets, Post Mount disk mount, Tapered Steerer
    Rear Shock - N/A
    Headset - FSA Integrated Road, 1 1/2" lower Sealed Cartridge Bearing and 1 1/8" upper Sealed Ball Retainer
    Rear Hub - Whyte Alloy, Double Sealed Bearings, 32 Hole
    Front Hub - Whyte Alloy, Double Sealed Bearings, 28 Hole
    Spokes - WTB PG 15g, Black Sandvik Stainless with Black Brass Nipples
    Rims - Alex Black Dragon 24, Deep Section, Disk Specific Road, 32 Hole Rear and 28 Front, Reflective 3M decals
    Tyres - Upgraded from stock tyres to Continental Sport Contact II 32
    Shift Levers - Shimano ST-3500 SORA, 9 Speed

    Brakes Rear - Pro Max CX Mechanicals, Linear outer cables with Kevlar Reinforcement, 160mm Rotor
    Brake Levers - Shimano ST-3500 SORA
    Pedals are not included

    Cosmetic damage: paint has been worn away on the seat stay roughly the size of a 5p coin. This is from where I attached a lock to the bike when touring from London to Paris.

    It size 52. This is based on the seat tube. The top tube is 54. It fits me well and I'm just under 5"8.

    Price: £400

    You'd need to be able to pick the bike up from North London.

    If you have questions or want more detail about the spec then let me know.

    I'm selling my Planet X Pro Carbon after deciding to downsize my bike collection (recently moved house and have less space).

    The Planet X is in very good condition and has done roughly 500 miles. It's a great bike and very light compared to my do-it-all, but like I said I no longer have the room to store it :(

    It would make a great bike for someone who wants to upgrade from an alu bike or similar to their first carbon bike (without paying a fortune).

    Spec:

    Full carbon frame and fork (claimed weight for the complete bike when I bought it was 8.5kg)
    Shimano 105 gearing
    Brand new cassette (only used on five rides) 11-28
    Caliper brakes by FSA
    New 90 mm Selcof stem (can also throw in a 110mm Planet X stem if needed)
    Gears serviced in the last 6 months
    Includes new Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow Saddle (RRP £69.99)
    Includes Shimano PD-R540 SPD SL Sport Pedals
    Vision Team 30 wheels

    Cosmetic damage - there's a slight nick in the rubber on one of the hoods

    Medium fits me well and I'm just under 5"8.

    Price: £500.

    You'd need to be able to collect the bike from North London.

    If you have questions or want more detail about the spec then let me know.
