Planet X has officially closed down their US location after the oakridge fire. The UK site is still up and they still ship to the US but no local place to demo.I was the creator of the team and I will say that their bikes are nice, especially for the price.Stewart

Thanks! Yes....things seemed a little "shady". My Planet X has been a great track bike. I am replacing it with a Dixie Flyer - which is an awesome bike!

After the fire they pulled the plug on the US operations and left their one
super loyal employee high and dry. It seems that when SRAM tightened up
their OE supply channels Planet X USA wasn't able to continue buying
pallets of components and grey marketing them back to the UK. So once that
supply ran dry there wasn't really a use to have a US operation anymore.

How do I know all this? I used to work for them. I've been to all their
factories and I know what they are all about.

If you want one of their track frames you can either order one from in the
UK and the'll drop ship or you can go direct to their manufacturer, XDS out
of Shenzhen, China. Planet X is know for cutting out the middle man and
offering better prices and now I'm giving you the chance to do the same to
them. The track model is X-B52 and you can usually get them direct or from
another direct importer.

I hope that helps some ;)

I talked to one of the team members at officials training a few weeks ago and he was going to find out for me if he could. I'm sorry....but I don't remember his name. No word, unfortunately. I was looking at another track frame - I love the one I have.

Anyone know the current status of Planet X USA? I know there was the bummer of a fire up at their Oakridge location, but have they been able to reestablish some inventory anywhere locally? Their stuff looks great online, and I would love to check it out in person. Tried calling the number shown on google, and DM'ing on their facebook page to no avail.
