Buying a Cyclocross - advice please!

sazzaa

Have just started cycling to work a few months ago on a mountain bike and want to buy something a bit more suitable for commuting and maybe some longer road/light trail type trips, so looking at cyclocross bikes. Have managed to narrow it down to a couple of choices, but not really knowing much about bikes is making it difficult - any help or advice would be appreciated... Choices at the moment are Boardman Team CX or a Genesis Vapour Disc. Is one better than the other? I'm open to other suggestions but it has to have disc brakes. Cheers.

Out of interest what mountain bike do you have?!

I've been getting to work on a Specialized Rockhopper 29er. Did have a Myka Sport but quickly realised it was too small for me so it's now been given to my daughter.

Guy who runs my LBS races on a Merida Cyclo Cross 4, really good spec for the price and he loves it.
