I bought this IF to be the do-it-all bike. Road, CX, gravel. Rode 40 miles of gravel today on 40mm Clement MSO tires.

Love the room for big tires, and plenty of rack/water bottle/fender mounts on this bike!

Even though it is a cross bike it rides so well on the dirt and road that I am having a hard time seeing how I could get a better bike for my purposes.
This photo is just after a 105k ride with 2 long dirt climbs.

well done

Love it! I haven't seen many Planet X's with discs just yet. Looks great.

This was intended to be more of a pure CX race rig, but my intentions have been waylaid by life, but in a good way. The IF Planet X sourced from member jamaris has become my all-round dirt/gravel/fireroad adventurer.

(that zig zag scar in the mountain in the background just above the top tube was pretty fun and a little scary going down )

thanks.
Those were taken over a few different rides but pics 3-6 of the ones i posted above, yes is Old Coast Rd in Big Sur. I was staying at the campground in Andrew Molera state park and just did a pretty quick 21 mile ride but man it was a glorious 21 miles. And not that easy. Hard to find other round trip routes in that area ( that aren't just up Rt 1 and back ).

(I promise to trim the fender supports before I try to ride the bike.)

Now my wife and I have another spot in California to visit.

Thanks Adam. :)

Nice looking bike btw.

thirdgenbird 12-12-2014 05:23 PM

No kidding. That looks like an amazing route.

Thanks for sharing!
