If the RT-58 doesn't speak to me when I go up to Sheffield I think I'm likely to wait until march and have a look at the mach 700

If I was you I'd give them a call 1st to make sure they have one in the show room so you don't have a wasted visit like I did.. Mine was a 3 hour round trip!

I'm swaying heavily towards the ribble stealth over the Planet X.
Better frame..worse groupset....

Not losing faith but sometimes i get that 'too good to be true' complex... How do they do it so cheap? the frame must be bobbins? answers on a postcard.,, or this forum

I'd have had the RT58 in a heart beat had my budget stretched to it. As it is I'm VERY happy with the pro carbon.
The Ribble Stealth is a beautiful frame in the flesh, great finish, I saw it at the London Bike Show but it really needs those deep section wheels to look its best which is one of the problems with Ribble: the pictures of all their bikes are specced to the max and that is not what you're getting (I think the bike as it appears in their pics is closer to Β£3k).
