stringbean Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Got myself one of these a while back.https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/bikes-tcx-advanced-pro Absolute magic.Only used for commuting.Frame is class,I have always said giant make some of the best bikes in the world. Having said that it might go on sale soon.N + 100000 means there are a lot of bikes that just sit there.You only really need 1 mtb and 1 road bike.

Patchelicious Posted July 10, 2017 Author Posted July 10, 2017 I should have known better than to ask here.... ai I would prefer to buy from a local shop. I would prefer hydraulic disks, I have mechanical discs on my CX bike in CPT. Not a deal breaker can upgrade to hydro later, but no need to try convince "mechanical is good enough", they are but I don't lie them. I would prefer not to build a bike. Would prefer to spend less than R30k = Training bike Hence my original question, what CX bikes are readily available in SA? So having said that, these seem the options that have come up so far. Trek Crockett:Niner, a friend has one, but is out of budget I think? http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5456/9732466762_c69ee1e11b.jpg So far, the Giant actually seems like the best option. Just don't know prices, I think its the best looking too.

LOOK695 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Patch, there some bike shops running Tour specials in the classifieds. Maybe they would be willing to do a CX Tour special .........
eddy Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I know that you said you'd not like to build one yourself, but think about a RitcheySwissCross frame sent to your favourite bikeshop with a Ritchey buildkit and get the shopr to get a 105 groupset and build it for you. You need not even see it before it is ready for collection...
etienne_jordaan Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 That Giant looks the best of the lot and with Giant it will always be good value for money backed by a solid warranty.

etienne_jordaan Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Giant Durbanville had some off those available at one stage.

Sh*t. thats my size.when you sell you might have a buyer in the wings#justsaying
stringbean Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 It's just a thought I had this week end when I saw it hanging up not been used.Patch I was in the same boat as you I think.I thought I didn't want to ride my colnago thru winter so got a cx bike to commute.Problem is because you have the power meter on your colnago you'll want to use that to train and the cx bike will just sit there.
