<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm new to this forum and new to the whole cyclocross community. Here's the story.</p>
<p>I want to buy my first cx bike but I'm hesitating which one I should choose. I have narrowed my choices to Felt F65X 2014 and Boardman CX Pro. After shipping cost and all duties the prices are: 1900$ for Felt and 2100$ for Boardman. I want to buy an all-rounder for both cyclocross and leisure rides.</p>

<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>I'm new to this forum and new to the whole cyclocross community. Here's the story.</p>

<p>For winter season, I intend to use the bike with cycletrainer - Tacx Satori. Do anyone happen to know if these bikes are compatible with the cycletrainer? I've heard that carbon bikes may be damaged by cycletrainers [e.g. <a href="http://www.cube.eu/en/service/faq/faq-detail/article/can-i-use-my-cube-bike-on-a-bicycle-trainer/" target="_blank">Cube's FAQ section</a>] and, as far as I know, Boardman's fork is fully carbon while Felt's is partially carbon. However, the frame is aluminium in both cases.</p>

<p>I would be tremendously grateful if you could tell me which bike's better for me [please, list the reasons why it's better]. Recommending the right size for me will be much appreciated. My measurements are as follows: height – 165,5 <span class="il">cm</span>, leg length (inseam) – 75,5 <span class="il">cm [for clarification: I'm an adult so I'm quite short]. I guess 50 cm should be right.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>If you find other bikes to be superior to the ones I listed, feel free to insert them in your reply. I'm especially interested in any bargains for both the bikes I listed and any other worthy attention. So, if you know a shop which sells Felt or Boardman for less than I found, let me know.</p>
<p><span class="il">I give you many thanks in advance for your helping hand.</span></p>

<p>Regards,</p>
