PS: In short, it looks like CX frames are heavier than road frames these days by a large percent. 1 lb doesn't mean much to many, it seems, but I call it, oh, about a 28% weight increase with no...

Since you ask, I confess that I'm really Sven Nys posting secretively (until now). I'm pretty sure a bike is a bike for the most part. I don't see any CX frame-maker saying "reinforced here and here...

Do you mean the TCX? It kinda seems like you do. 1800 gr for their TCX F/F that's supposedly kinda comparable to the TCR which only weighs 1400 seems just sad. Why a pound more? It's like ~30%...

I have less than 5mm clearance! :) I'm losing paint!

I think my wires might be 28mm. Oldschool CX. They used 28's even in the 90's. Some would say that if you're NOT using 28's it's not CX!

I'm pretty skinny already. (Nearly HS weight and I'm 52! C'mon!) I've been noticing good things whenever I shed weight off the bike lately. No reason I can see for it to be there to begin with....

Hi... I guess my TCR is actually 1400 gr for F/F.

Does anyone know what a TCX Aluxx with carbon fork might really weigh?

Hmmm, looking at the $500 Chinese carbon frames, I see they're 1580 grams with fork. My 2000 TCR Aluxx is about 1250 grams. C'mon, isn't there a LIGHT cx budget frame out there that's either budget...

PS: For me cheap means they come onto the secondhand market fairly often and for $150-250 in nice shape. Lite means TCR Aluxx sort of life.

OK, good point on the TCX. I suppose I was looking at whole bikes and the TCX shocked me but likely they were going for a certain pricepoint and used diff parts than the TCR. Still...still... for a...

As I said I consider my TCR Aluxx to be light, strong and cheap. I'm looking for a CX frame along those lines and at that weight and price. I wish Giant had just given the TCR more clearance. All I...

Cheap lite CX race frame/bike?

I enjoy my Giant TCR ALUXX road bike/frame. It was cheap, it's light, I can go fast on it.

I want to find a similar frame/bike for CX. ...I first looked at a TCX frame, and they're cheap, but DANG...
