Waiting to see all the pics and notes back from @perniciousviper
The range looks decidedly 'dark and stealthy'
Black with blue micro shift hoods on the Triban 500 SE looks good

Pic of the Triban 5 (500) just came up on the FB link. That Ultra looks sweet.

The Mach and Alur are looking interesting, not sure about the UK price conversion and what they will be set at for here; also pondering how the crossover point / price / spec's of the two compare to the Planet X Pro Carbon - look forward to further pics / info.

Looks like the T7 becomes the ALUR 700? Very nice looking indeed.

Checking further - the Mach 700 would be circa circa £1110 , meaning it is priced above the Pro Carbon, so we'll need to look at what you get for your money in close detail there. The Alur is circa £770 (straight conversion site check) and just a bit heavier - interesting, priced at a good level; looks a bit 'sportif' but pretty cool in frame shape, a bit 'Specialized' in style almost and whilst the styling looks ok, they've gone and done something crazy with the graphics again, what with that 120mm stamped over it in big letters - BTwin, less is more on the graphics front, putting the stem size on in big letters is as daft as the 'CARBON FORKS' notation on the T3 IMO !

Looks like the ALUR doesn't come with rear brakes, lol. They also stole my wheels for the Mach - at least they've got good taste.

The Alur is interesting, needs a good pick over with a magnifying glass that one - big name beating at first impression; the T500 looks to continue on the T5 formula well, fixing the T3's issues and offering outstanding VFM but I'm left wondering if there's quite a gap between the Alur and the Mach and that your new bike sits squarely in it .

Looks like the ALUR doesn't come with rear brakes, lol. Looks like they are 'disposed in the rear base' as the translation says anyway - curious.

I'd say that the pro carbon slightly edges the Mach 700 in pretty much every area (but then I would say that wouldn't I?).
As you say, they have again left a gap in the market at the £1000 price point. Bit silly IMO.
Is there to be a T300 I wonder?
If anything were to happen to my T7 I'd be all over that ALUR.
