So...I'm all lined up to get my little e-voucher to go over to Halfords and get my Boardman CX team purchased on the C2W scheme, when i had a little crisis of confidence last night..
This will be my first proper foray into the world of CX and indeed 700c tyres (if you can excuse my 10 speed raleigh at the age of 12). I've only ever ridden Alu bikes in anger, and am more than used to the stiffness.
I'm trying to organise a ride on the genesis over the weekend, and I'm trying out the smaller framed CX team on saturday (I've sat on the medium and i'm pretty happy with the size) just to make sure it's too small.
pros and cons of both, if you please gents. I've read the specs, but i'm not as up to speed on these things as I am on mtb (and i'm not all that good on those either!) I also realise there'll be love for steel and love for Alu irrespective of any other arguments
ta!
