I've been looking at Cross bikes for months. As i already have a Cannondale Synapse, a CAADX was top of the shortlist, but after looking on PH & elsewhere, Rose Bikes sailed onto my radar screen...so, i've just ordered a Rose Pro DX Cross 2000 biggrin

I haven't gone mad with the Custom Options so hopefully it might come a bit quicker than the 5 weeks they're quoting. I'm really looking forward to getting out on the local tracks with this bike, as my MTB is a bit over the top for what i use it for at the moment.

biggrin

I bought a CX bike for using on the lanes and tracks then blow it all, I went and entered a race in January! I didn't exactly worry the leaderboard but it was fun biggrin

It's a slippery slope!

Go on, it's only forty odd minutes, how hard can it be?

A bit of an update...

After some discussion with Udo from Rose, i ended up changing from a 58cm frame to a 60cm. The order was updated without any fuss from Rose so top marks to them.

Build & delivery is currently estimated at 4 weeks...
