Yes have been looking longingly at the Ritchey catalogue, love the 29er frame due to the UK in a week or two as well

Love that Ritchey, be interested to know if charliethebikemonger will be getting any in to compliment the also lovely P29er.
Now that would be a dream pairing of bikes for me.

i ahve a cross itch that needs scratching. Don't know much about them though, how do they differ from road bikes in ego?

The Ritchey cross isn't due in the uk until the end end of march according to the Paligap site, but I'm guessing that's maybe wrong?!

Google's "Paligap", thanks LoCo

why aren't companies putting disc mounts on such new offerings, though?

A lot are waiting for true hydraulic STI units by Shimano/SRAM. A few are already, and I guess a few simply won't bother.
Speaking to a RaboBank rider at the weekend, there seems to be a split in opinion as to if there is an actual need in most CX races for disks.
Still I expect in 3 years there be standard

Steel race bikes? FAIL, this isn't 1987....
As soon as Nys adopts discs, all the pros will follow

some of these bikes have only 1 gear *gasp*
If you're a pro you'll be told which bike to race, if you're not then ride what you enjoy

+1
+1I like my bikes to look nice too, I like the look of steel bikes, as a result a disproportionate ammount of my bikes are steel.

Who said anyone had any intention of raceing on it? If I had one I'd just use it for training on fireroads away from traffic.Posted 6 months ago # -

They have tubs so it's reasonable to assume they're for racing.

Only up to a point, In cross loads of the pros have custom geometry, one-off tyres not made by their sponsors etc etc.

leggyblonde, true but the point was that people who pay for their kit tend not to be pros

The Swiss Cross is lovely, but I can't help thinking that I could probably have an 853 custom frame (with disc mounts
) made up for less than it's going to cost. FWIW I can see the ambivalence to discs in cross racing - the brakes are hardly used*.
Actually, my current pointless fantasy bike is a custom 853 (or Columbus equivalent), disc-braked, SS/fixed crosser.
*this may just be a function of how slow I am....

Fixie-inc had me untill the price, £2400 for a bike that isn't even that pretty?
If you're going to make a steel bike, use skinny tubes, don't bother even trying to make it stiff.

cool disc mounts on the back of that fixie inc, though.

Cielo CX racer is a beautiful steel cross frame with some amazing touches...
My Hakkalugi will be retired at end of season and replaced with one...
Also worth looking at are Moots Phsyco X RSL... They are in the realms of nuts money tho. Circa 4500quid!! Frame and forks!

I'm not usually bothered by aesthetics, but put discs on those beauties and they'd all look pigs.

Totally agree Oldgit!
You do not need disc brakes on a cross bike!! Never raced and felt under equipped on my carbon TRP frog legs!!
And at the last Super Prestiege round there was one person on discs in all cats..
