Best cyclocross bike under £1000 and other CX chat

Never mind that, it's got a front derailleur. Such 2013.

thanx for your positivity gauys ;p

Such ribbing

Can't vouch for it being any good, but stumbled across this, singlespeed disk cx for £329.

With a budget of around 1500£ what do one look for if one wants hydro disc and 1/2 x 11 speed?

I've looked at Planet X's Viner and Specialized Crux E5 X1 (a little over budget)

Genesis?

CDF? Too touring. Speed's the need.

Datum?

Not a cross bike.

Next!

True .. but why not?

You are like a broken record. ;-)
Maybe not cross enough.
Giant tcx slr1, for 1250. Non hydro though.

You are like a broken record. ;-)

It may have to do something with what I want :P

Chinese carbon cross?

You could go for Ridley, Focus, Scott?
Hydro brakes on a Ridley will set you back just over £1500, Focus do SRAM for £1300 and Scott for the same price... was going for a Scott myself but don't want to wait till May.

There's a few Cubes with Shimano Hydro on Chain Reaction

Cannondale CAADX Rival 22.

+1, stoked with mine

What does the hive mind make of Juin Tech Hydro brakes?
(I've painted myself into a cable actuated corner: Genesis Fugio + Rival 22)
Thanks

Supposed to be pretty good but we were waiting for someone to comment on longevity i think.

has anybody mentioned Kinesis ?

I think @Howard or @Dammit have some experience with them?

This is a pretty good deal right now (I guess around 1,400 quid once shipping etc is all done)...

Not disc though

They work, feel slightly better than Spyres. Would not want to descend a col on then tho

Thanks all. I'm still doing module 1: ascending cols, so I should be ok. Will have a ponder.
