The perfect commuter

[Jewbacca]

Just beware the sizing on a CX bike. A gravel bike is a bit different to a CX bike (if you are going to import).

 

An out and out CX bike has way more room for all the shoulder barging and jostling... a gravel grinder will be more akin to your regular sizing.. (just my 2c as you keep referring to a CX bike).

I commute on a single speed CX bike with hydraulic discs. I have 40mm tyres that I run tubeless and flared drop bars. My commute is a mix of road and spruit - I find myself riding mostly in the drops. Personally I value having good stopping power and brake modulation (especially in the wet) on a commuter. At a lower price point I guess this points towards a hardtail mtb.
