[Closed] Kinesis Crosslight Pro6... Brilliant

gee · 2012-10-10T17:51:29Z

The new bike turned up last week. It's brilliant. On the road, it feels like a road bike. Off road, it feels like a rigid 29er, only with drops. Having discs is an absolute revelation on a cross bike - the brakes allow you to really hammer the trails and know you can actually stop/slow down. The handling is very mountain bike - really chuckabke and nimble. Just back from a loop round the Surrey Hills taking in a couple of the drier trails (Secret Santa, Supernova and Barry's) then heading home. Fantastic for an after-work ride. If you are interested the spec is Ultegra gears, CX-70 chainset, 105 STI levers, USE carbon finishing kit, Hope/Stans Crest wheels, Racing Ralph 700x35 tyres. I am also running road pedals (105) as I hate the rattly feeling of mtb pedals on a road bike, and seeing as I spend most of the ride on the road and don't race cross they are fine. You all need one.

Seriously considering buying the frameset (found one for £350) but its a 51cm...
Im 5ft5ish and 29" inside leg.. any opinions whether it will be too big?
