Does anyone have any ideas for decent bikes less than £700 than can ideally take 32c tyres and mudguards to ride for a few hours every day? Would I miss the wider range of gears on a CX bike over a road bike? What groupsets are decent and what should I avoid? Are mechanical discs worth bothering with? Sorry for all the questions (some of which I've asked before), I have no idea what I'm looking for, never bought a geared road bike before.
