thinking about a new bike, ok i have the mtb side covered and im happy with the road thing i have but im finding i need something in the middle
long rides to work along tarmac and gravel mean both are awkward. those skinny tyres while nice on the hard surfaces are hairy to say the least on loose gravel (limestone stuff farmers love to pack onto bridal ways) and the mtb is bit slow and cumbersome on the roads sooooo
im thinking of buying something cyclocrossy and currently ive got it down to four:-
the giant revolt 2
canondale caad sora disc,
trek crossrip elite
and last but by no means least the orange rx9
reasons for those four are fairly sound in my mind
giant, i quite like the giant i have
cannondale who doesn't like them...
trek just look at the thing matt black its a positive stealth bike
orange ive always lusted after them since the clockwork from those long lost days of my youth
ok i know i shouldnt be so shallow and just work on the looks but cmon ive considered the revolt(ing)
