Whyte charing cross

They reckon that people will use the R7 bikes for commuting up to about seven miles each way, but beyond that people tend to want a more efficient riding position — less upright, more head down — along with the bombproof features that can be built into a cross bike. The top tube is a little longer 1cm on the 57cm model, less on the smaller models for a slightly more stretched ride position.

Each of these bikes comes with post-mounted mechanical disc brakes, top-mounted levers, fully enclosed cables, Crud Catcher mounts… most of the key features of the Saxon Cross. Whyte have done away with the quick releases too and locked the wheels on instead, which makes a lot of sense on bikes that are likely to be locked in public places. We can see all three of these bikes doing well. They all look cleverly thought out to us and we look forward to getting one of them in on test in the not too distant future.

They should be available from about September so keep your eyes on the Whyte website. In other words, three bikes that people were actually going to buy and one that… well, who is going to spend three grand on a flat-barred road bike? It was always going to be at attention grabber rather than a serious contender. Anyway, Whyte have reined the Montpellier in for It uses the same hydroformed aluminium frame as last year — multi-butted with a press-fit bottom bracket and built to a mountain bike geometry.

I am somewhat surprised that a bike aimed at the commuter market, and also a Cyclocross bike is unable to cope with rigours of road work only. Thanks for listening to me spout on about my problems, but thought I would share them and bring to your attention some of the quality issues my Whyte Charing Cross is having, and hopefully make people aware of potential issues, if considering to buy this bike in the future.

I of course will keep you updated on any further issues. Regards Hammered. Cheers for posting this. I am about to buy a CC as well, for a Clapham to Victoria commute so this is very valuable information.

I might pop next door and ask the guys in Evans as I work next door to the Victoria branch. Just wondering where you managed to get the price match from? Cheers Stew. Hi Stew Since Evans rebuilt my back wheel, I know its only been weeks, but its been fine and Ive done a good fews miles since, and with the good weather Ive been riding home daily from Millbank to Harlow, the bike is comfortable, quick and you eat up the hills, well pleased with it.

As for Evans Victoria I can't say enough good things about that store, they were great with the problems I had. With the price match, I was lucky, I was googling Whyte CC, looking for reviews when I spotted that Edinburgh Cycling Corp had dropped the price, and it was for the weekend only, so I shot down to Evans to nab the price, and even they were surprised.

Hope this helps. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads. Whyte Gravel Bike -Size Down?
