SUPERB VALUE DISC BRAKE-EQUIPPED CROSS
A LIGHTER WEIGHT CROSS IS EASIER TO BEAR
‘The guys at the Bike Co-op have got all the basics right: ideal gear range, decent brakes and good shifting, all hung on a good frame. A comfortable convincing ride with oodles of versatility.’ Cycling Plus, December 2011.
The benefits of disc brakes are proven on today’s better quality MTBs: near-effortless lever action, more power, longer pad life, less maintenance, wheel rims that don’t wear thin.... Cross bikes benefit equally from the all-weather control that disc brakes deliver. That’s why our Cross Sport Disc boasts Tektro Lyra ball bearing disc brakes. Equally impressive, the gearing is upgraded from the standard model’s Shimano 2300 2x8 to new and improved Shimano Sora 2x9 speed shifting.
Like every bike on this double-page spread (bar the steel Audax), the Cross Pro is built on our new 7005 aluminium frame with butted seat tube. Except here, the frame is brushed, not painted. This makes it lighter weight, more beautiful, and you’ll never have to worry about chipped paint. The Cross Pro’s carbon fork (over steel) reduces the weight further, as does its Shimano Tiagra 2x10 gearing and its FSA Gossamer 2-piece crankset. Upgrading the disc brakes to Avid BB-5 level is the cherry on the icing.

Rather than rest on the laurels of a kind review, for 2013 we have upgraded our 3 Cross bikes with lighter 7005 aluminium frames (butted seat tube) which feature fully enclosed cables, top tube routed to ensure smooth shifting, while the slimmer legged steel fork saves more grams.

GEAR FREE & MECH-LESS, THE JOY OF BEING SINGLE
INDEPENDENTLY RATED: NO CHAIN, NO OIL, NO MESS
A BELTER WITH GEARS? ALL’S FINE WITH ALFINE.
This is our best selling singlespeed. An absence of gear mechanisms, levers or multiple cogs reduces the bike’s weight, price and complexity. The sealed cartridge bearing flip-flop rear hub facilitates instant fixie conversion. In December 2012 the road.cc website hailed the Revolution Track among the best road bikes under £500. For 2013, to further emphasise this bike’s retro-cool appeal, it now comes with 700x25 gumwall tyres.
Taking silent running singlespeed simplicity to the next level, this beautiful bike is named after its Gates Centretrack Belt Drive transmission. Here, the traditional steel chain makes way for a lighter weight, harder wearing carbon belt. This belt will never need oiled so it will stay much cleaner. ‘The Belter is silent without trying. It’s perfect for the cyclist who values clean hands and a bike that just works.’ The Independent.
The new Revolution Shadow combines the clean -riding delights of belt drive with the similarly low maintenance benefits of Shimano Alfine, where the gear mechanisms are protected from the elements inside the rear wheel’s hub. Alfine enables gear shifts whether you’re pedalling or not. With a 306% difference between top and bottom gear, the Alfine 8-speed hub offers as wide a range of gears as you might ever need.
