CANDIDATES (So far):
Kinesis Crosslight PRO V6
Niner RLT9
Ritchey Swiss Cross
Brother KeplerAny suggestions welcome, what i'm missing?
-
• #3
Carbonda?
-
• #4
CAADX
-
• #5
boardman cx pro
-
• #6
Looks a bit too relaxed, too long a wait and I'd find a way to smash it in a week
-
• #7
Going off your wish list, I'd plump for the Ritchey.
-
• #8
The stack look really high on their geo chart, shame.
-
• #9
Me too but maybe too expensive. Also not mudguard mounts. It was on sale some months ago for £700, much regret

still havee my Niner RLT9 for sale if you after a 53cm one?
-
• #13
I think it's what Chris has just bought?
-
• #14
I like this, but it's a brother Kepler with a different paint
Not so sure.. This is Reynolds 725 and has a tapered head tube for carbon forks.
-
• #15
Mmmm that's good... May consider it
-
• #16
Almost set on Kinesis crosslight for no reason other than horizontal top tube and white.

Surly straggler ? Or disk trucker ?
Or a genesis ? Or even a planet X kaffenbach or London road ? -
• #18
Subbed, interested to see what you decide on.
-
• #19
i'd go for niner rlt
or
soma fog cutter
genesis fugio ( a bit upright )swiss cross has no mudguards iirc
-
• #20
soma fog cutter
Or double cross disc
-
• #21
I was gonna add Shand stooshie, but the price is challenging
-
• #22
That fog cutter thing looks the ticket, but the carbon fork is meh and could be challenging to find a Chinese disc fork in straight steerer
-
• #23
a second hand Crux or Crocket, no point spending a load of cash on a workhorse
-
• #24
Big fan of my alu rlt 9, really good on and off road.
-
• #25
Would the brother kepler carbon fit ? I beileve they are 1 1/8th
Again, my winter hack/gravel biek got destroyed by another inattentive driver, just after I paid a kings ransom to revamp it. Now I having a pile of new and old components in slightly outdated standards that I need to attach to a new frame.
What I need:
-Cheap if possible, killing expensive bikes is too much of a drama
-Long and low. Something that can be ridden fast on road and cross. I can't get on with too tall handlebars and slack angles
-Stupid standards, getting like MTBs. I'd try to use as much as possible of my deceased GT grade carbon, that means: Post mount, 15mm/135 QR axles, PF 30 BB...
-Mudguard mounts, I ride all year round
-Decent clearances for cross tires. Not interested in 650b
TL/DR i need a slightly outdated cross bike with some all-round features.
