Dual function Bike Needed

Triathlon Forum

Ok, I’d like to try Cyclocross this season.
I also need a road-bike so I can do some crits/road races (did Tt’s this year, had a blast)

I am a tri-guy with Giant TR1 Aero so I cannot remove the aero’s. Also cannot use the bike for the above.

At the moment, I’m just screwing around on both 'cross and road racing. So I don’t need anything high end, just something durable (Clydes here, 228).

Any suggestions on a reasonable bike that will last a season or two? If I totally enjoy either I’ll get a specific bike for it eventually.

Kona Jake, or Jake the Snake.

Whats your price range for a reasonable bike?

You’d probably have a better time road racing on a 'cross bike (swap the tyres) than 'crossing on a road bike.

Look to Ridley, Redline, or Kona for a decent, entry level bike to get you rolling.

$1000-1500?

Trek X01.
I swap some road wheel when I ride with my wife. Even use my powertap wheel.
