• Looong shot but always dreamt of a Ritchey Swiss cross but don’t see them around so often here in the uk. Did see a ratty one go on Facebook for £120 a few months ago!!! But someone got there before me. Looked into the new ones but I’ve got an aversion to disc brakes so ideally looking for 90s-2017 era Canti cx frame with a carbon fork, effective top tube of 58 ideally. Hit me, cheers

  • I always wanted a Swiss Cross too, but just keep in mind that they have a low front end. Less than 600mm stack for the XL size.

  • Do't recall many options with steel frame and carbon fork. This 531 Graham Weigh looks good: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=156472 (Note no bottle cage bosses)

  • Looks super nice, currently riding something similar, a 531 Nigel dean with a headset converter but not a lot of options in terms of forks. Maybe it’s a pipe dream, seem to be more on the market in the US

  • Cross Check and stick a nice fork on it?

  • Not a bad shout, wish they weren’t so overpriced

  • True, but plenty available used. The rumour is that they’ll be discontinued soon (if not already) so if it’s an option it might be worth looking into sooner rather than later.

    I got my new Cross-Check F&F in Feb for £540 from my LBS for context.
