Well, the bike is. Took my trusty old commuter that was sad and forgotten in back of the garage and turned it into this. Hopefully (if rear hub holds out!) get me around first sw cx tomorrow.
Flipped Marys, odd Elixir calipers/levers and cheapo tyres from O-O. A spin round the park later and I quite like it. 
{any comments about garden/fence will be ignored!)
Quite nice except those gopping bars 
Mines ready for tomorrow.....only they've gone and cancelled it (double booked a country park!!!!)
Not sure the loss of half of my gears and the addition of tubs,new brakes and new bars will facilitate my entry to the middle echelons but we'll see next week.
Yes.....its on my bed.
Gonna be spending a lot of time on your shoulder with that pedal choice too!
They're bloomin light though......
I was gone to put some gears on mine...then couldn't be bothered! I may for next time...
Good Luck. Heavy, no gears, stupid bars. Are you hoping to be competitive or just making a statement!

I was hoping to take part and enjoy myself actually 
I can't afford/justify a cx bike so I thought this would do? Are you suggesting I shouldn't bother?
I ride mostly ss anyway and have ridden the odd cx ss before so I now what to expect. Yes it is heavy but it's not as if I would be anywhere near the front anyway. The bars are bloody comfy and work well like this - the frame is too long for drops.
Obviously you are a cx god sir!
My new vapour is ready for tomo's Sw start up. Having never been before I've not a clue what I'm letting myself in for!!
I like the looks of that apart from the Cotic disc mount on the fork is on the front and looks odd.
Have fun
Any idea what time sign on is??
Senior race starts @12.30 so I'm planning on getting there at 11.30 ish - presume that will be ok. Must be open for junior races from 10.30
