"Would definately buy again from Planet X. Looking into their race wheels to go alone with my Carbon Stealth."tigers75
Ease of use
Handles very well. Very light! As far as flex, this was my first carbon fiber tri bike so I have nothing to compare it to. Responsive feel.
Quality of Construction
Good quality. The downtube bottle mounts seems to be off center just a touch. No big deal unless your looking down and notice it...may annoy some folks. I use the seat downtube for additional water bottle storage, and a Profile design aero bottle in between the aero bars instead.
Fit
Had LBS do fit process. Made a couple of small adjustments post-fitting process, otherwise bike feels great and comfortable.
Comfort
Great!
Adjustability
Steering tube came uncut. Final cut done after fit process was done. LBS cut a little off the seatpost as well. Fits good.
Durability
3 months in, with a few races schedule this summer. So far all training rides, holding up great!
Value
I have upgraded all components over the past year, so I bought the frame/fork/seatpost and headset all for around $750. Build up the bike myself with help from LBS. For the price, can't beat a carbon tri frame!
Appearance
Black
Customer Service
Emails back and forth with any questions or info i needed were answered quickly. My purchase was on back order coming over from Europe for almost 4 weeks. Guys at Planet X USA emailed me with status of delivery. Good customer service!
Performance
Haven't used it in a race yet, only training. Feels So Fast!
Strengths
Great carbon frameset for the price!
Weakness
None so far.

Ease of installation
Bought this as my first tri bike after using a road bike for the past couple of years for triathlons/duathlons. Had LBS build up from frame and fork. Had no issues with build. Ordered specific needed headset from Planet X at same time as frame/fork.
