JPatrick,
I have the pink frame....I love it! I posted a pic below for you. It was still mid-build here (see the steer tube)...but you get the idea. I took off the white saddle too...we were just playing around. It has been on my computrainer for months now due to our lovely weather.

Peter at Zedsport (US distributor for Planet X) said he is getting white and blue frames next week....Planet X will do these colors for a bit and then stop (like they did w/ the pink) and pick 2 new colors for their next lot.

I have the pink TT frame (stealth) and will be getting their Superlight (baby blue) road frame next week.

Good luck!

How steep can you get the effective STA to? If I remember, the stock STA is 76 degrees (please correct me if I am wrong).

Thank you !

Bike looks nice. Is this the 07' ? What size is that - and what are your measurements please.
Can someone please tell me the difference between the 06's and 07's ?

So to date they have white, black - carbon - look , blue and pink. No solid black - painted ?

Those are two different frames. I don't think the pink one on top is a Stealth Pro Carbon.

The neutral seat angle is 76 degrees. Rough idea is every 2 cm forward on the seat rail gives you another degree.
Hope that helps a bit.

Yep, my bike is the 07. To clarify this is the Stealth TT NOT the Stealth Pro Carbon. This is an XS frame...I believe the effective top tube is a 51cm. I am 5'7" and a girl....nothing unusual about my build. I usually ride a 52cm (my past Stealth was 52cm)....and I thought this may be too small, but it is great. This is not a stock color...it is a custom pink painted one...but Planet X still (I think) has some pink Carbon Pros. Stock color in mine is anodized black.

So, yes...they have black, blue, white and pink for 2007. Nope, no solid black painted (as you asked), just clearcoat.

They do have new colors arriving stateside at Zedsport. Saw a nice bold blue painted Stealth Pro Carbon. They are definitely adding colors in '07. Might want to call Zesport (U.S. distributor for Planet X) and ask for Peter. Them lovely Brits are very helpful :-) Personally, I love the carbon weave black - looks MUCH nicer up close and personal (as does the Pink - just not for me).

Just to add another black stealth to the mix:



The bike (and wheels) was purchased in the UK for less than 2000 pounds sterling. To put this in context, a P3C setup with the equvalant Zipps would cost over 4000 pounds. Is the bike slower than the P3C? - Probably. Is the bike 2000 pounds slower? - Definitely not! But having said that, if I had all the money in the world then a P3C it would be.

All the photos you see are of the Planet X aerobars. I'm not sure yet how I like them. They are very adjustable, light, and very stiff (in both design and feel). The extensions are a VERY shallow S bend though and I don't have enough time on them yet (and my previous cockpit was also an S-bend profile T2+). Appear to be very aero (frontal profile)

Cool! But what is with that cable routing!!! Rear brake is WAY too long and on the wrong side, no?

Ah yes - I'm "double dipping"

Still on the Cervelo Soloist Carbon for road racing (first race tomorrow - ouch), but now looking for a great season under Planet X Team Tyros!

I can belong to 2 mafia groups, right? ;-) Cervelo is like the big 800 lb Gorilla Italian mafia and Planet X like the IRA ;)

those are the Tektro (Oval Concepts) aero brake calipers. They have atypical routing.
