Patchelicious Posted July 10, 2017 Author 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.You do know this is solved very easily, but putting a PM on your CX bike too
Furbz 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. sell the powermeter and buy power pedals.i bought P1 powerpedals. i transfer them from my Road bike to my SS road bike all the time. takes a couple of minutes and ensures i still capture data. worst case, i know Golden Cheetah is able to convert (guess) power output relatively accurately.i'd only use this for a pedal around. if doing interval etc rather get a power meter
Skinnyone Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 So for the 2018 season I believe Trek SA is doing the Crockett 7 disc which should tick all the boxes, has Hyd Discs not cable - not sure on pricing tho... Has sliding dropouts too if you wanna run SS
stringbean Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 You do know this is solved very easily, but putting a PM on your CX bike too I knew that was coming
Patchelicious Posted July 10, 2017 Author Posted July 10, 2017 I knew that was comingHehe, I would put a PM on my toilet seat if I could

HeyYou Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I know Jaques at Knysna Cycleworks has two CX bikes for sale, 2nd hand.From memory, one is a Giant with 105 and discs, the other a ??? with V brakes. Both are fairly new, original owners bought, but no longer want them. No idea of the prices, but probably worth a phone call, or whatsapp. 0833277202
AJG Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I have this CX / Gravel bike for sale if anyone is looking. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/257202-gravel-cx-bikes/
Pure Savage Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 While swimming on the roads on Sunday I was wishing for that CX bike! Discs would have been amazing! Guess we cannot complain in CT when it rains.
Kalahari Vegmot Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 This looks pretty decent:Costs about 20K without shipping and taxes.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/fuji-altamira-1-5-cyclo-cross-bike-2016/rp-prod159975 The Giant TCX SLR also looks good except for the alu(not a major problem) frame, and that it's got mechanical brakes. It's a good price though, and you never have to be too kind to the bike ie. if it falls a few times you don't have to worry about carbon cracking. And you could sell the 105 mechanical and get Ultegra Hydro for way below your 30K budget still...

TALUS Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 http://contrabandbikes.com/frames/rogue.htmlStart with that. Fit with whatever you want (even dropper post). Old Skool Kool. Love it and I have no fears when putting it on the kicker. Steel is real. Eccentric BB. Way under budget. Local is lekke
