Still undecided

[MrGrumpy]

OK my LoC is in so need to make my mind up quick, however the LBS`s have said I can add extra in to the £1k limit as long as its not stupidly high so read into that probably £200 max over £1k. Had set my mind on a Merida CX500 but have now seen a Ridley X Bow 10 and would also like to see a Cube Cross Race CX as well as it comes with hydraulic brakes and 105 for £1099. This seems the best of the bunch in terms of price and spec. The Ridley imo seems over priced at £1199 ?

There are other offerings namely Giant TCX which I`m also keen on and there is the Planet X offerings however no mudguard fittings which is also important so ruled out !

Decisions decisions !

Belguim, Ridley, Cyclocross... But the Cube probably has the prettiest paintjob. The Merida is just ugly to me. As per usual, ride them and make you own mind up.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Yep Cube is probably the nicest looking! looking favourite just now

I'm liking that Cube, but I am a bit biased

Deposit down on the Cube managed to trace one down in what looks like my size, going for a fitting Monday before picking up.

Iv got a pair of Kenda Kwickers 32mm on my crosser and can't fault them. I think they are about £20

Work well on every surface so far. Iv not tested on ice but rode some fresh snow the other week and felt very confident.

Pump them up to a highet psi and they are pretty fast on the road too.
