New Bike
Hi to All,
I am looking at buying a bike and have decided on a cyclocross, but would love some advice. Currently I have a Viking Camden Hybrid and would like to move onto a road bike which would allow me to use paths, trails etc, hence the cyclocross.
My budget will be between £6-£850 depending if I can arrange scheme via the office, but would like discs & decent gear set if poss.
I have had a look at a few and in all honesty it has now confused me even more. I don't really know too much about types of gears and stuff.
The few that I have looked into are
Boardman CX
Pinnacle Arkose 1
Norco Threshold A2.
If anyone can advise is to why or why not and alternatives, this will be a real help.
Many Thanks
Saul.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.

Trek Crossrip? Not ridden one but it was a best-seller in my LBS. There's probably a model that fits in your price range. One I saw in the LBS had a triple (good if it's hilly where you live), 2nd set of brake levers on the flat section of the bars (good in town if you need to brake quickly) and disc brakes. I think you can fit mudguards and a pannier easily if necessary. Genesis CdF as well if you fancy steel - disc brakes but no 2nd set of brake levers. Compact crankset.
