S/h planet x rt90 purchase
Discussion
I've recently last Monday purchased a s/h planet x rt90 it's about 10 years old as far as I can tell, rim brakes and SRAM.
I've been using a decathlon grvl120 around Stourbridge,
This one's 8.4kg with some clunky metal pedals, never used cleats...yet
It was £200 and I've only ridden it up.and down my street as it was too warm last week, hopefully getting out in the next few days.
Probably be questions, like how do I change up and down gears etc

If it has SRAM brake/shift levers, there will be a paddle attached to each lever. It's much the same as the Shimano or Mictroshift system on your existing bike but the paddle does both up and down shifts.
Give it a long push (all the way over) to change to a larger sprocket and a short push (just 'til it clicks) to change to a smaller sprocket.
It's a great system that I miss greatly on my current – Shimano equipped – bike.

If you're unsure about anything pop in to see Charlie, Loz and the others at Bache Brothers Cycles on Lye Cross.
Great lads who will teach you the basics and give the bike a tune up too - just make sure you call ahead as they're incredibly busy at the mo.
Road bikes take some getting used to, I'd definitely advise getting used to the shifting / braking etc before adding clipless pedals to the equation.
