• It's not just an alu cx frame though.
    People will pay a premium because it's the "lightest alu gravel frame ever made".

    "at 1,399 grams for a 56 cm frame, that weight means most traditional carbon gravel bikes are only about 1 pound lighter (~400 grams) than this."

    Crux E5 Disc at £562.50 RRP should cost £740 on UK inflation but what about US inflation and the whole bikemarketbeingfuckedflation?

    "Our 54cm test frame weighs 3.43lb/1,559g with its seat collar and derailleur hanger"

  • Am I reading this right? The new one weighs 1,399 and the old one (from 12 years ago) weighed 1,599 with derailleur hanger and seat collar? Functionally who is going to notice 200g on a cyclocross bike? And the new one costs over £1k more? Bike-flation is ridiculous.
