'cross bikes are ridden by deviants. Road bikes should belong on the road and not fitted with knobblies and taken (run around with on your back) off road.
And yet I feel strangely drawn to getting one. Just read the review on the front page and thats confirmed my suspicions that one may make a cracking weapon for a bit of road riding and a lot of scoping out new trails whilst adding a new dimension to my local regular rides.
So, in case my mate doesn't get back to me about selling his Airborne Lucky Strike, talk to me about 'cross bikes. Don't want to spend an awful lot. £700 absolute max. Second hand is ok. Quite fancy the Cotic X if anyone has one for sale that'd fit me (5'8").
Anything I should look out for / be aware of? Literally know nothing about them other than they're wrong. And I'm wrong for even wanting one.
Someone tell me they're rubbish.
Cheers
Dave
