Ive been fanning around for the last few weeks wondering whether to get a full blown road bike or a CX bike as a halfway house so I can still go on some of the local bridleways. It’d mainly be used for longish (50-60mile) rides on weekends and the odd commute (26 mile round trip).
It’s all been brought to a head today as I’ve seen a Planet X XLS on here going for fairly decent money considering it’s (allegedly) only a few months old. The XLS was one of the bikes I was looking at, the road option being the PX Pro Carbon Ultegra thingy.
So, road or CX, bearing in mind that the CX bike will be about £500 less.
