Hi,
I've been looking to get a Cyclo-cross bike for my daily London commute, as well as being able to go on the occasional trail. The speed on the road and having curved handlebars, as well as the adaptability of being able to occasionally off road and being able to traverse curbs and potholes is what made me choose a cyclo-cross bike.
My budget is £750 ($1,500). This is through my work's cycle-to-work scheme, so it is a fixed maximum. If I had a grand I would be looking to get the Felt F1X (but obviously doesn't fit the budget), for £700 ($1,400) the Specialized Tricross Sport looks good. What other good cyclo-cross bikes exist for around £750 ($1,500)? Lightness and speed on the road is preferable to being really rugged for trails.
