Hi all - I'm now in the market for a cyclocross bike. Won't be used for racing. More for light touring, faster commutes, etc.
My requirements.
Disc Brakes (winter weather, and on my first new bike I'd like discs)
Rack & Fender mounts, with plenty of clearance.
NO carbon in the frame. Carbon Seatposts/forks etc are fine.
Triple front rings.
I really, really like my friends Lemond Poprad Disc, which she had converted to a triple 105 crankset. However those are now really, really hard to find.
Looking @ a few brands I like the look of the Salsa La Cruz - despite it lacking seat stay rack mounts. (p-clips to the rescue).
Any suggestions?
