Looking at purchasing a cross bike this spring. I like what I've seen on the Le Mond Poprad and the
Surly Cross Check. It appears steel is the material of choice for what will have to be a pretty
versatile bike: I'd like this one to serve as an alternative to my hardtail on some of the smoother
offroad stuff I ride, as well as something to give me a bit more speed and efficiency on the
occasional informal road ride.
I'm seeing lots of stuff offered at or close to $1000, so I figure that's a reasonable price to
expect to pay.
Anyone have any observations on the Surly or the Le Mond? Are there any other models/manufacturers I
should check out?
