Not sure about that, so far in our store we have a, 2014 hybrid comp, 2014 cx comp, 2014 mx hybrid all built on display, suspect more will be up soon, most likely after the 2012 models go

have they changed the fd on the cx? to something reliable

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum so would first of all like to say how much good information, helpful posts and general detail in contains, it really is a pleasure to read! But now to the heart of the post, Im seriously considering a cyclocross bike, namely; The Boardman CX comp! Yet I'm a little sceptical on its performance as a road bike? I've hear other cyclists mention the added strain to the wheel from the disc brake and was worried this could effect the overall feel and stiffness on the road? If anyone could outline possible points of consideration/reassurance it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is wondering why cyclocross rather than a full roadie this is due to future touring I'm hoping to complete on it, I figured the extra strength of the frame and the disc brakes would come into there own in the touring aspect.
Thanks in advance!

Thinking this might be a good replacement for the Crosstrail should it not come back. Is Sora a decent set of gears?

 

[SquareDaff]

Just had a look at the website. What has he done to the Hybrid Pro? Definately not an improvement!! Do like the new colour schemes/paintjobs though!

 

[burndust]

i'm a fan of the colour schemes but some of the components would need replacing throughout the range IMO....Still using microshift on the cx team.. .its shoot!

 

[terry_gardener]

has anyone tried this bike yet is it any good

 

[burndust]

aye...one of the guys on this thread (martin sirrell) has one...he seems to like it

 

[burndust]

i just checked the weight on the team version....i'm sure the old one was lighter
