Hi folks.

After finally giving up on driving to work, I’m thinking I will ride in the 12 miles each way.

I dont want want to use my carbon road bike, so thinking of a CX bike?

any ideas or suggestions for about £700?

i need to sell my 200 mile / 2017 Orange P7 to Fund it first...

I do a similar commute on a Charge Plug. It cost a lot less than that secondhand, but the new ones are still in budget.

Claris is rubbish though!

Why don't you put a rigid fork and slick tyres on the Orange? Would be a pretty cool commuter, and can always convert it back to a mtb if required.
