It'd be rude to turn down the Cycle2Work voucher offered by Halfords through my employer and since I may well sell the Boardman HT Pro through lack of use (I seem to have become a roadie, cyclepathie, towpathie, greenwayie and green lanie) a CX would fit the bill on many levels.
The bike I want isn't actually released to the market until Dec hence my post asking for a few views
http://www.cube.eu/road/cross-race/cross-race/
RRP is £999 but even with the final purchase my outlay will only be £630, a very fair 37% reduction on a new bike with the payments not attracting any interest.
Even better my LBS have signed up with Halfords and are a Cube dealer so I'll be sized properly and the bike will be set up by them.
Other than the Boardman CX I don't think I can beat it for the money in the CX market, what do you think ?

I think it looks th mutt's, but if I was heading down that route I'd go for a steel frame with discs. Oh, and EA50s can be a right PITA if you get a puncture.0

I love my cube they're solid well built and I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

I really like it on many fronts. But, already having a CX bike with cantis, I'd want discs.0

What's with the handlebar tape starting 3" from the end of the handlebars?0

+1. I've got the same brakes as the Cube, too.
Looks the business, though. Very tempting to race.FCN 2-4.

I really like it! looks lovely, have to agree I'd prefer disc's but could live with the cantis no problem at the same time.Jay dubbleU wrote:

Mmm me likey!
I think I'd rather have discs but that's because I'm scared of canti's. But that's a lovely bike for £630.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame
