More steel shit!

• 4.2 lbs (54cm)

4.2lb for a 54cm, I'd need a 60cm so that would be close to 5lb for a CX frame, no ta.

[img] [/img]What about the Lynskey cooper?
My brother in laws new bike. Ok its mega money with Dura ace etc 😆

why dont you get a disk tab welded on to your current frame??

I'm working on getting one of those Planet X SL SRAM Red special offer bikes, if I do I'll use the kit from my current roadie to build a CX bike early next year, Dura Ace is a bit posh for a CX bike but it will have to do.

Obviously there is the Genesis Croix de Fer as mentioned, this looks nice too:

Alfine makes a lot of sense I think, maybe not for CX racing? Not sure...

That's hideous.

Main disadvantage of discs for me is that's then another set of wheels! My road training wheels become my cross race wheels in winter. I've always got wheel options if anything happens to a wheel or hub. Discs means a lot of new hubs and rotors as well as losing the ability to them interchange from the road bike to the cross bike.

Will people please start posting pics of cross bikes, instead of these steel framed,single speeded,brooks saddle wearing abominations to all that is holy and Belgian! Thank you.

Amen.

Technically of course, only the Calfee is a true cross bike since all the others have bottle cage bolts which everyone knows aren't present on proper CX bikes 😉

Clubber - I have a 58 Airborne alu cross frame that I'll be selling soon - has disc mounts

Great but too small for me 😉

Plus my wheels are non disc...

Well if I get a Kinesis FiveT I'll have to hang my head in shame at races, IT EVEN HAS RACK MOUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!OMGWTFLOLLERSKATES.

etc.

Have shimano not approved bottle cage bosses yet then?

I have disc wheels too!

I'm going to get one of those Fixie Purebloods - been lusting after one for aaaagggeeeesss

I like that Focus, but white bar tape on a CX bike?

It's for commuting on so it doesn't matter

(mine also gets used for commuting on 🙂 )

It's Shimano approved.

Get a kinesis, they are lovely. Ive had 2, a pro 3 and pro 5 [the one without the bosses] Nice bikes.

I don't reckon Shimano approve my CX bike's mix of Campag and Shimano 🙂

What is?

No one with any decency would approve that, you heathen.

EDIT: Just realises that his road bike will be a mix of SRAM and Shimano..

The Focus 😉

You will die.

Nick Craig did ok on his at the 3 peaks last year.
Ok i need to learn how to quote!

 

Biggest problem with flat bars on a CX frame is it tends to make the position very short/upright as the top tube length is designed for drops.

will you be getting a basket & bell to go with your new hybrid too?

Oi KT Tunstall, you should get a planet X Uncle John like me 🙂

Yer it was considered, but I want a new road frame as well so getting the Planet X SL deal almost kills two birds with a whatsitsname.

So what's wrong with a basket and bell then! 🙂

Lynskey Cooper comes disc specific. Lovely.

Are you off to the bowling alley?

According to an over tattood, over travelled rider in peaslake cx bikes are just b2w bikes - especially those with hand built wheels and tubs.
