Wondering what would be a better frame really for the price it is

Currently got a Boardman Team CX frame but it feels a bit too small really, and was looking for something lighter

    From what I've read..

    - the PX carbon frames will be lighter and stiffer than the Crosslight (XLS being the stiffest)
    - the XLS and Crosslight are more race orientated cross frames than the Dirty Disco (which has slacker angles)

    The carbon PX frames are great value for money IMO.

    Only the Kinesis would work for me as a commuter because the 2 planet x bikes do not have eyes for guards and a rack.

    If you want a good commuter that takes disks, mudguards & rack then this is ideal:

    I've got a set of mudguards that hang off the back, thanks for the thought though
