Planet X Uncle John Ultegra Bike Medium Blue
Deluxe Training and commuting
The Uncle John is our classic cyclo-cross frame, updated with new paint-job and 2012 revisions including; integrated headset, mudguard eyelets and double bottle cage bosses. It's just as happy on the daily commute as it is on a winter training ride. If this winter turns out as bad as last year, simply fit some fat tyres and you've got a viable alternative to a mountain bike.
Strength and reliability
The frame is made from Triple butted aluminium, developed from our award winning Superlight Team Alloy model, with the security of fatigue resisting gussets and revised internal butting profile.
Bike Radar rated the Uncle John 4.5/5 commenting on its "Confidence-inspiring ride and spot-on handling".

Sizing Notes
All frame size recommendations are approximate. A good fit will also depend on the correct choice of stem length, correct bike set-up for the rider and riding style.
Correct frame size choice can vary greatly with riders' torso length. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for a slightly shorter stem. If you think you are borderline between sizes, and you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for the smaller frame size. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, go for the larger frame size to get the extra top tube length.
As the frame sizes increase, so does the length of the head tube. If you are inflexible or perhaps have a history of back problems, consider going for a larger frame size. This will increase the relative height of the handlebars making the position less “extreme”. The larger frame will also have a longer top tube, so you’ll need to compensate for this with a shorter stem.
