Hello. I haven't posted here for a wee while but been reading everyday
I'm after some advice. I am in the process of selling my current road bike because the frame is a little small for me and it's become a bit uncomfortable - shame. I've been researching cyclocross bikes and saw a lovely one last week but I've got used to a road bike.
I generally ride on the road. I'm doing a couple of big rides over the next year for charity (end to end this year; attempting hard endurance ride next year). I'm after a bike that will happily cope with shoddy roads as well as decent ones. I have no plans to do any full on off roading - just riding around everywhere I can.
So I'm a little unsure what type of bike to go for and it's come down to cyclocross or road.
I've graduated through two bikes over the last year (hybrid to road) and am now looking for the ideal one, and will get fitted for size properly! I have vaguely entertained getting the cyclocross and attempting to build a road bike - that might be stupid as never done it before. Mind you so's what I want to do next year.
I already know what make I want - Giant - so that bits sorted.
Sorry if this is a really daft question.
