Best CX for £600

irishbri

I'm doing the Rat Race Coast 2 Coast Scotland in Sept 2015 and have a budget of £600 to get a cyclocross.

Its mainly on the road with a bit of trail and one pretty tricky up and downhill proper MTB part and so I am looking for a CX with disc brakes.

So far I have seen the following
Boardman CX Comp Bike 2014
Norco Threshold A3 2015 Cyclocross Bike
Fuji Tread 1.5 2015 Adventure Road Bike

Does anyone have any recommendations for the ones above or some others?

Is that second hand or new? If new then £600 is entry level but the Wiggle one is worth looking at:

You doing the one or two day?

By the way the "tricky" MTB bit is about 1km and not very tricky tbh. I wish I'd had disc brakes but more because I'm rubbish at fast descents and going down the B862 after the big climb is a fast descent.

Hi Curto, sorry I didn't get the alert that you had emailled!

I am doing the 1 day one, I tried it in 2013 but had a mtb and missed the final cut off time! The mtb bit is pretty easy, even for someone who has done very little off road!

I will be getting a CX and bringing some slick tyres with me for the first section, not taking any chances!
