Good work that man - lovely looking bike.

Are you planning to race CX on it as a singlespeed, or is it a weekend blast in the local woods bike?

Its my everyday work horse, commuting, out with the girlfriend etc. It will be doing decent number of miles (usually 100 a week)

Sounds like it will be well used.

I'm contemplating a CX workhorse for my next bike for all the stuff you mention, plus the odd winter CX race and short tour. Fancy some discs though, so currently looking at the On One Ti Pomp with a 1x10 setup for racing, and singlespeed the rest of the year. What brake levers are you using on the hoods (presumably you have some without shifters)?

Pixelmix - check out the current gensis range, they have a disc'd up, Alfine CX bike...looks lovely!

I would have like disc's, but hydro ones - which don't seem to be available, and since I had some shiny new wheels (Royce, CXray etc) and some forks (Easton EC90x) it made sense to keep my canti's!

fontmoss - see [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/news/products/q/date/2011/01/25/new-titanium-tourer ]here[/url]. Placid Casual (on here) is riding the prototype at the moment, and has some photos on flickr etc.

Eric - I do really like the look of the Genesis, but think it might be a bit lardy for CX racing.

That is a jolly nice bike. Excellent proprtions, and understated class. 😀

And SS CX, painful though it is, rules..!
