Best cyclocross bike under £1000 and other CX chat

The Giant is a bit of a shocker but I agree with ed on this. Its a cross race bike but so is the caadx disc that loads of people commute on, even with the cable routed along the top tube for shouldering making it easier to rip your sack off while commuting. What we need is more disc road bikes, or dare I say it, drop bar nodder hybrids

Your average hybrid buyer is put off by drops.

Those that like drops, just buy an audax if they want practicality, or a CX if they just want the improved poor weather capabilities.

So its all covered anyway.

Last winter when the local stores were shifting bikes to clear room for skis. I mearsured up some disc braked hybrids. I had the gear to add drops to them. But they were just a little too long, and the BBs a bit too high.
