    Hello All

    I’ve been looking for a disc equipped bike for some time now. It would like it to be light and responsive enough for me to stay with the race/road bikes on the club run as well as take a rack and mudguards for some light load carrying. Compliant enough to be used for granfondos and able to run 35mm tyres for some gravel tracks and mild off-road.

    After looking around I ordered a BMC GF02 Disk about 6 weeks ago. However, it’s still not arrived and now I have an email from BMC to say there aren’t any available! Uh?

    Can anyone suggest any alternatives? The Boardman CX seems close but is a fair bit heavier.

    TIA

    Andrew

    I got a Boardman CX. It’s cracking value, have used it for commuting (mix of road and towpath), touring, a lot of 100km+ club runs. Don’t know how much the BMC weighs, but the Boardman is one of the lighter disc-equipped bikes for the price (or at least was when I got mine a year ago).

    I upgraded the wheels (as the stock ones are absurdly heavy, like 2.2kg or something), cables and bar tape and that’s it. Done 3000 miles or so on it. No hesitations in recommending.

    2014 bikes should be here in 2-3 weeks.

    I’ve been riding a 2013 F65x for hte last year and love it, do exactly what you plan to do and just swap tyres between 25mm slicks, 32mm slicks or CX tyres depending on what i’m using it for.
