I'm going to the Sheffield shop on the 28th to look at the RT-58. I have a trip planned a few weeks later

I'm quite liking the Franco biancho pro carbon.... Ha! Ha! Good luck keeping that clean!

There was an fc7 in decathlon yesterday... Was so tempting, but unfortunately a size too big. I think this is fate telling me to get the RT58 :-)

Yep, I'm thinking the same thing. I quite like the white and green, but don't think I could live with it on a daily basis, so the black's in pole position.

Planet X are offering 20% off all their frames for today only. Am sorely tempted to pull the trigger on the RT-58 frame and forks as it'll be down from £699 to only £560!! Code to use at Checkout is 'UKALLFRAMES20'

Did you have a successful trip? Yep, come on - spill the beans!! Sorry for the delay guys. I did go to the Sheffield store on the 28th . The show room was pretty empty so not many bikes on display they do store the bikes in their warehouse unit which was only 2 units away however it was closed so they were unable to show me the RT-58 in matt black which was the bike was going to look at and was looking to purchase (the cash was in my pocket). I did get to look at it in green and white but if im honest I wasn’t that impressed with it, I’m not sure if it was just the colour scheme but it didn’t grab me like I hoped it would so it’s a real shame I couldn’t see it in the matt black finish as I may have felt differently. I ended up leaving empty handed and I’m now looking at other bikes.. the search continues. If anyone has any ideas for bikes around the £1400 mark ( I want full carbon and Ultegra) please let me know as I need some help. I have been looking at the Vitus VRI on CRC but its a little over budget at £1900.00

I'm still deliberating on what to do about my next bike. I'm not convinced about the Planet X either, in that I don't know how I feel about owning and maintaining an 11 speed drivetrain. I'm leaning more towards more of my budget being biased towards the frame and having a 105 groupset and better wheels instead of 11 speed Ultegra.

no but just looked on the Rose website and they are NICE bikes. They had a stand at the NEC cycle show and I was impressed with them then but completely forgot about them while searching for a new bike.. I think I have the catalogue somewhere at home.
