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.

Pedals are not includedCosmetic 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.

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 wheelsCosmetic 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.
