I don't want much, light, cross frame for racing not just as a commuter/alternative to hard tail.

I paln use by road bike as a donar for most all the parts except the brakes which are easy to source. Thinking of the Kenesis evo4, any other suggestions?

I have a 2 year old 54cm BMC cx02 frame/fork for sale if that's of interest?

Scott CX is very popular at the races. It has lots of mud clearance, which if it's your only bike is a big factor. The Kenesis bikes, which good, do tend to start to clog after a bit. Empella or Columbus are also popular choices.

Giant TCX frameset might be worth a look. I race one so this is a totally unbiased opinion!

If you are tall, this is probably a good buy;

The Paul Milnes ones are good value (ebay shop). You have to put your own bottle boss riv-nuts in though if you plan on drinking though real men don't.

Kinesis EVO 4 is a very nice frame. Light, carbon rear stays and with the fork judder issue fully resolved. TCX is OK but not as good IMO.
