I have been toying with the idea of extending my racing season and
racing cross this year. Very simply, how much money should I be
looking to spend on an intermediate bike, and what brands are in this
price range? I'm not interested in getting an entry bike that I will
outgrow after one season, but I am also not interested in getting a
top of the line bike. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
