Hi guys
I am currently overseas with work and on my return to Canberra I will be taking up a new job which is further from my house. Looks like it will be 25km each way ride - great excuse for a new bike!
Most of the ride is by bike path, but that can be rather bumpy with roots lifting the path etc. I don't really think I need a road bike, nor do I really want one. The more and more I read about CX bikes the more and more I think they are perfect for what I will be doing.
Question is - what currently is out there for $1500 max? I would ideally love a Kona Jake the Snake, 2009 or 2010 model as I love the frames (hate the 2011 fame).
What would people recommend? need to make a decision and buy very quickly on my return,
cheers
