Anyone know anything about the above/below? Do Charge make good bikes?
I like the look of this one. Was previously looking at Genesis vapour disc or specialized tricross elite, but this has caught my eye.

What do you want it for?
That picture makes the head angle look quite slack, so most likely not a "race bred" CX bike
Not racing, mainly winter commuting, operhaps with the odd blast round a trail centre
reviewed in the latest cycling plus mag.
For that, it would probably do well. But, please, lower the bars a touch - the hoods are higher than the saddle..!
V Nice, and yes charge make good bikes although this is their first foray into the CX market AFAIK
and what was the review like, or do i have to go and skulk in WHSmiths?
being picky but part of me wishes they had left the "bikes" bit off their logo!

4/5, not great for cyclocross, more of a commuter. Cannondale CaadX won.
Looks like it would do the job of winter commuting very well indeed!
Test rode a salsa la cruz the other day - also possibly a bit slack, or that's how it felt to me.
Didn't feel very lively.
I love Charge, great brand, great bikes. I have a Plug Freestyler and a Blender...
That one looks nice.

Perhaps not a race bike but,
Chris Metcalf of team Charge Cycles rode one to a third and fourth place in the first 2 rounds of the Notts/Derby league.
Probably more due to the engine than the bike though!
Chris rides Freezer Ti cross bikes - they're most definitely race-spec. I spend a long time looking at the seatstays 😕
That would make more sense, nice looking those Freezer's. Although fair point about the motor.
From what I remember the review said it was on the heavy side. Not sure it was definately that model though.
