Great light bike around 8KG showing at £899, but use code UK10CLEARB for a further 10% off at checkout :) Topcashback brings it down further down to under £800.
Very good price for the Ultegra 6800 22 speed version I think.
If you can't afford the one off payment, check out the interest free 12 month repayment plan just £67.50 a month :)

Class.
Brill little company, just wish they'd be serious and change that goofy clown name. Love to buy them out and do it myself if I had the capital.

How? The groupset cost £800?

Direct sales, fewer middle men, not sponsoring super celeb riders, etc. Also, this frame hasn't changed in a while so the R&D has long been paid for. Not saying it's a bad bike but there's how the price has been cut. Also, with discs and gravel bikes getting all the press you have to be cheaper to keep people interested.

You can get the groupset for around 400 from most online retailers - and they are still making some money, this is PlanetX's old frame and average wheels. Hence the good price.
Keep your eye out for a set of Ultegra Wheels - and you will have a full Shimano Ultegra bike - which will keep my OCD happy :-)
Having said all of that it is a stonking deal - you can get the black for 899 which I would prefer, but could I handle White for just over 800 quid.... I think so.
Heat.

Great deal. I have this frame and groupset and it's serves me very well for the last couple of years - lovely bike to ride.
Have some heat :-)

I look forward to your cheaper alternative which matches the specs.
I won't hold my breath.

Great groupset but as for the rest!!!...I visited the Barnsley branch and was not that impressed with the build quality and the frame and modest fitted components are not that great...my advice is to shop around for some great deals on what's left of 2015 carbon framed models from a reputable brand like Giant.

Less than £800 when you include Topcashback. I've ordered one.
I already have a Planet X RT-58 with Rival 22 groupset, which is a super little bike for the money (well, at the price I paid), which I use as my winter/wet weather bike. On the basis of my experience with that bike - 3,851 miles so far - I like the brand and this Pro Carbon deal seems like stonking good value. Not sure where else you'd find full Ultegra 6800 and a full carbon frameset for under £800.

I have the SRAM rival version of this bike which I got last year, unfortunately not enough difference to make a viable upgrade. Would be buying one though if I never had my current one.

Not bad for the money, but would never buy from them.

You are unlikely to get cash back if you use a discount code.

Not bad for beginners, you will soon upgrade though

Fair point. It's tracked at £13 ish, so we'll see whether it pays. Not the end of the world if it doesn't.

excellent bike at that price point, it should be noted that planet x regularly knock this model to the 8-900 pound mark at various points throughout the year, so unless you really need it now I wouldn't bother. the rt-90 is the more preferable model for the more aggressive geometry, but that costs a lot more.
for an above average carbon frame with an excellent ultegra groupset I challenge anyone to find anything better at this price point because you will not. Ribble are the only other company that offer anything similar. In my opinion this is a better frame than what they offer...as for the guy saying buy a giant, you wouldn't get an ultegra equipped giant for under 1000 quid, even when on sale..

I've not seen them do the pro carbon with this spec at this price point before. Maybe the rival 22 or 105 but not ultegra 6800.

Me neither, pretty sure this is the cheapest it has ever been. I remember it getting very hot on here at £999

i saw it last year for 795-800 and the year before, seems to be the lowest price it goes to, for a limited period

Excellent company, excellent group set and amazing price. Road biking has one of the biggest snob factors in any sport, do not be put off this is an excellent price for an excellent price.

they knocked it to 800 - 795 a year ago, similar the year before. I watch planet x and all the other retailers like a hawk and was really on the hunt for a decent carbon frame with an ultegra group in january last year, ended up buying the rt 57 as a separate frame with the groupset in bits, so gotta bargain 850 price but that required months of hunting about, so to buying the pro model maybe the easier option for some.especially if you can't put a bike together.

Also the big names Trek/Giant etc have an annoying habit of changing the components within a groupset so not all the bits match - that makes me grumpy :-)

The email I got today said that there is only going to be 50 available at this price.

Ordered mine on Wednesday evening. Dispatched on Thursday. Delivered on Friday. Compared to the SRAM Rival 22 groupset on my Planet X RT-58 or the Di2 on my Rose Xeon CDX I don't find the Ultegra gears to be anywhere near as convenient to use. Other than that the bike seems very nice. But I would not buy Shimano manual gears (this is my first bike with them) again in the future.

Just had £13.63 become payable from Planet X for the bike, so under £800 indeed. I claimed in Amazon vouchers, so a little over £13.63 in cash back value all told.
