Quite like that, although IMO, the hoods are too bull horn (easily sorted) and the bars not smooth enough radius (I've since changed my bars to lower drop than the pic last page, and they're a tighter smoother radius).

A TT bike may turn up at some point if I find its to my liking but right now I'm sticking to hill climbs and road riding.

My 2p...
I wouldn't spend 2k in Planet X!
If you do your research on frame manufacturers you will come to the revelation that the majority of 'good bikes' are made my Merida. Including Giant and S-Works!
Personally I would be looking at BMC or Ritte, however 2K there is not going to get Di2
If you are planning on a purchase soon, it would be the perfect time, end of season, get outgoing 2015 model, see decent discounts.

@jetsetwilly , not really adding much just posting up a sales website - what's the point?

Just as there was a few bikes at the 2k or under price point at 7kg ish and chain reaction doesn't link to the jpg so was just easier

OK, but this is a B'TWIN Owners Club forum, we're free to do what we like but it's not a 'just buy any old bike' forum ... constructive input and spotting bench mark n+1 bikes, at their standard price levels, for comparison from other brands is one thing, simply posting up long lists of sales bikes is a bit different, or we then need to trawl all the sites out there and put their sale bikes up as well. This thread is getting pretty weak if it just runs into 'ooh look at this, lots of sale bikes'.

I rode with Nicolas Pierron from B'Twin in Lille when out there a couple of months back (on the morning of Paris Roubaix), think he was on the prototype of that one, but it had deep carbon Cosmics on it, they make a cool high pitched whistle when they stop, tidy kit.

Just a shame its a stealth "bright matt black" as I'm sure that will put quite a few off. Or is it just me who doesn't get on with the stealth look?

Thanks for the continued input people.
I'm now pondering mechanical V electronic shifting and weight V aero.
Most of the racing lads are frowning on Di2 due to replacement cost and funily enough bad shifts.
Watching the tour everybody seems to be on an aero frame from whichever sponsor although I did notice that the Canyon boys were using Ultimates rather than Aeroad on the hilly stuff.
I would really like to make my purchase from Decathlon but their offerings simply don't fit the bill and seem to be way too expensive for the spec.
