I've seen this disc compatible cx frame over at CRC but can't find any reviews or details really. Anyone got any?

Can you expand on that, not had a lot of Pro-Lite stuff, but it's all been OK so far, and was looking at a TT frame they do.

Yeh, well thats it really. I mean who are they? Has anyone got any experience of their stuff?
If I was going to spend a few hundred on a frame, I'd get something that has been about a while and is "tried and tested" rather than reduced by a shit load at CRC because no one wants it.
David, that's kind of why I started the thread, isn't it? 😉
Ha, fair do's!
But I'm telling you, you wont find any answers anywhere. No one owns one!
I'd probably be more tempted by a full "no name" carbon cx frame off ebay/china.
Haven't ridden a disc version but I've owned 2 of the original canti Pro-lite Piemonte's.
And think they are great frames. Not very cool but they are v light and stiff.
TBH they are waaayyy over priced RRP, So £225 seems to be about right even with the carbon stays.
Geometry is similar to a Ridley/Guerciotti cross bikes. SO high BB
I'm 6'1" and ride a 60cm (56cm horiz TT).
I can post pics if you like....
I can also flog you my 62cm (57cm) frame at a bargain price if you are interested...
Thanks ackie. Pics would be great.
Presumably your 62 is non-disc? i really don't want to go back to rim brakes... ( unless it really is a bargin and i can use an adaptor but suspect that won't be an option with a carbon rear end )
David - I've been looking at the Chinese carbon too. For disc compatible they're still 450ish
Really? Where from? I'm assuming thats with forks though?
I had a road frame a few years ago, think it was about £300 (with forks)!
