Best cyclocross bike under £1000 and other CX chat

The vast majority of miles that I have put on my Boardman have been on road tyres, and in it's role as training bike the 3kg that it has on my road bike is, in a way, an advantage.

I always had low tread off-road tyres on mine. That way if there was any chance of taking a trail, gravel path etc, to where I was going. I could do that.
