This is going towards a more "gravel" geometry... which is not a bad thing if you don't want to use the modern Cx bikes for racing. This is why I started to look at new models in the Cx category. It...

SuperX new models can fit up to 42 - with little clearance left, but you can use 45 tyres with a 650b wheel.

I just came across the Scott Addict Gravel 20 (an old model but with very good discount - 50% off on 2017 model) - is this any good? I cannot see many around..

Thanks again for all the replies, only doubt now is the 1x vs 2x choice.. mmmh.. I find better deals on SuperX Force 1 than Ultegra 2x, maybe swapping chainring at the front 40t -> 44t will solve the...
