New Cyclocross bike

[Phil B]

Im looking to replace my old faithful Boardman Hybrid with a Cyclocross bike, I just fancy a change

The only issue that I have is being a short A*** that I need a bike with a 48cm frame I have upto £750 to spend on a bike....

Without spending time looking on the Web for bike does anyone have any ideas/suggestions I could go for

Thanks

How short are you...the Whyte Crossbike series start at a 53cm frame, suitable from 5'1 up

The 2013 KX should be in budget - here at Cyclesurgery in a 51cm apparently

Or a Boardman CX?

I have a 2013 Giant TCX 2 and find it really good on all types of surfaces. Although the gearing is typical of compact road bike so probably not suited to competition.

Sizing on these bikes goes down to XS 46cm but be careful as Cyclocross and Road bike sizes differ due to higher clearance of bottom bracket.

The TCX 2 is similar spec to the Whyte and discounted at Ash Cycles http://www.ashcycles.com/site/giant-tcx-2-2013
