If not, why not?

Why now? Well CX is booming and there’s almost no manufacturer out there that doesn’t have some CX models already in their range. CX bikes are great for much more than just racing. They are tough bikes that are as much at home commuting through city streets as they are being hauled around muddy Belgian fields in the winter.

Good luck with it, and well done to Mark for not using the word “gravel”!

planning meeting today with the unnamed new editor today according to twitter.

(I think we did do it – haterz going to hate was the conclusion – but no reason not to do it again)

Done briefly here. Be interested to see what it does cover seeing as CX seems to be about the least common use of CX bikes going by postings on here.

If it’s anything like the cx ‘supplement’ in the mag in the recent past, it’ll be great. I love my cx bike.

A magazine dedicated to people who buy bikes on the C2W scheme. Genius!

What was in it? May check that out. What issue was it?

I really hope it’s not this. If it’s got rack/guard mounts it’s not a CX bike!

Thanks, MrB, and apologies for any duplication! I done did a search and everyfink.

Can’t remember which issue it was, sorry.

The cx ‘supplement’ was at the end of issue 78

+1

I still think it should have been called “Gravel Grindr” though 😉

Whoo hooo! I have approval from someone I don’t know that my CX bike is a CX bike 🙂 Sadly it seems my old CX bike isn’t a CX bike. Which kind of confuses me as it does the same thing and doesn’t really ride that differently.

😉

Rather it be in Singletrack. Race info and it being aimed at people who post comments such as “If it’s got rack/guard mounts it’s not a CX bike!” Is not what I’d want to read

I want race info. I also want it to include all the other brilliant stuff you can do on CX bikes that isn’t racing.

TBH, I don’t really read the ST mag that often, so I’m guessing that the CX version will likewise not really appeal to the “If it’s got rack/guard mounts it’s not a CX bike!” crowd. So you’ll probably be ok 🙂

Yay! 😀

What’s grit got to do with anything? CX is about mud and grass mostly. If we are talking a mag for mud-guarded steel frames, with panniers and riders with beards, then I think the CTC had that covered long ago.

I don’t think you will be disappointed 🙂
next official announcement on progress and name of the new editor will be 2nd April. Also, from the whiteboard of rejected names… “Really Cross” 🙂

Hopefully they will set up a forum, with avatars, and all of us CX owners can decamp over there 8)

Fingers crossed…

No avatars.
Nope. Absolutely not.

🙂

Forum avatars – please no… they are the devil’s faeces.

No avatars.
Nope. Absolutely not.
