Site Supporter only1swanny Posted January 3, 2016 Site Supporter Posted January 3, 2016 Had a CX bike for a while but couldn't get on with it, was great for bridleways/canals etc but wasn't much fun taking it down San Marino a couple of times. What's your budget out of interest? 300 give or take. Then save for something better. If the frames orret I can change the rest around it Quote
Compo Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I'd just get a shitter and see if you take to it, something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scott-cx-team-cyclocross-road-bike-ultegra-105-/161935600773?hash=item25b41d2c85:g:fTkAAOSwf-VWYXzJ (I wouldn't worry about the dent). One thing to consider with CX bikes is that some suffer from toe overlap, might not be an issue for most people but I struggled with it. You rode a CX down the San Marino? Kinell, it's hard enough on a decent Full Suspension, i've seen plenty come a cropper riding down there even on decent Mountain bikes. Clipped in too, did the Dog Kennel run a few times as well. Not the comfiest way to get down I must admit. Quote
freds dad Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 How tall are you? I've got a claud butler road bike that is my spare but I hardly use it. It would fit someone from 5' 6" to 6' I can let you have more details if you're interested. Quote
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted January 3, 2016 Site Supporter Posted January 3, 2016 Just under six three ( the near inch makes all the difference) Biggest issue I have is my size and weight. Shops don't even stock upto my size Quote
