• So what's the current thinking for best budget cx bike?

    In order of my desires I have
    Hydro discs
    SRAM 1x group set
    Tubeless ready wheels
    thru bolt front and rear
    Gxp compatible bb so I can use my quarq PM
    Mudguard mounts for winter bike duties

    Ideally something I can get on cycle to work without too much topping up.

    The on one gravel bike seems to fit the bill but don't know it's suitable for actual cross racing, looked at the boardman cx team which is certainly competitive.
