looking at getting a cyclo cross bike for commute to work which is hilly and depending on the mood i'm in i can either go cross country or all on road.

cvx bike seems to be the best option, but want one with disc brakes.

having difficulty locating one for under £1k.

can anyone offer any words of wisdom?

i'm liking the kona, especially at the price (425 reduce from 645), but can't seem to locate any locally for a test ride... will keep hunting but thanks for the suggestion.

any other ideas?

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. In the end I ignored all the suggestions but investigations lead me down the genesis route (based on the croix ideas) and I ended up buying today the genesis vapour - it's the model down from the croix and without the disc brakes which I worked out were pointless for my requirements.

It's just being set up and some freebies thrown on it and I pick it up tomorrow lunchtime. That brings my steed to 3 now ( have a road and mtb in the garage).

What do I need next?
