rp16v does it have to have disc mounts on it? If not then i've got an Tinbred On-One CX frame. It was Nick Craigs race bike when he raced for On-One hence no disc mounts.

It's 135mm rear spacing but i've got a wheel for it you could have its not great but still rideable.
Centre of BB to top of ST is 51cm. Their is a few cable rub marks thats marked the finish of the frame but being titanium its hardly going to rust.
crosshair - MemberI love the way they leave the novices until the course is really fruity at the end
It wont be I've organised a perfect day for a cross race even the weather is going as planned 😉
We are sending the kids out first to make a track, be tough going for them 🙂
Anyone with kids fancy letting them loose ?

Kuco thanks for the offer but I've just got new wheels and its probably above my budget(ideally looking to swap my tricross frame)
Superb day yesterday at The Ilkley Cross anyone from here turn up ?

Large field, loads of starters, one very small gap/stile, hmmm interesting, more like the first singletrack section of an MTB race!

Yes the bridge did cause a bottle neck on the first lap, when I designed and built the course I hoped for the field to be more spread as they approached. It was the fact that there was over 120 starters in the main race and were'nt segregated with a minute between the vets, seniors and juniors.
Next time [my first go at organising a major event] it will be changed.

That wasn't a criticism, just wow a crazy number of starters. Some more age group/cat races may be in order next year.
So good to see that many people in a "local" race.
No racing for me this weekend, but it was the Swedish national champs, the main event was the elite women’s race which saw Emma Johansson of Orca Greenedge, Lisa Nordén who claimed silver in the triathlon at London 2012, and Jenny Rissveds the World Cup XCE champion, turn up against the normal CX elite.

Had a good days racing considering I was floored all week. Plus I wasn't gridded and I'm still 3rd overall. They called out everyone who's raced this season, then finally said 'and anyone else' that meant me! Managed to claw back to 8th in the end.
I'm not BC, and we think that's the reason. That said I was gridded at the last race and the commissaire afterwards apologised for a previous non gridding?
Odd, but I aint pro and I aint gonna win.
You should speak to the central league organisers, they produce the gridding sheet, the commissaire abides by that, unless say, you've got someone staying in town before heading to the worlds and fancies a local race, then its seems only polite to bring her forwards over league riders. You should be on the list, just because you're not BC, but then you'll be paying an extra £3 or so a week for the privilege of not being BC.
Cheers Andy. I always enter online as well. It's happened twice, people I beat hands down each week are called up by name. As I say I'm not a contender, but if I don't get gridded I never see my peers again. Mark apologised for the last time.
There should be a list of current standings on the central league website. However, I'm not involved in central league any more, so I don't really look at the website.
In the western league anyone in the top ten of the league standings gets gridded (plus Oli Beckinsale when he races) and then the organiser calls for anyone in the top ten of other leagues to join the grid before the baying hordes. shouldn't matter if you're bc or not.
London League grid according to average finishing position not current position in the league, perhaps that's what Central do too. This is ok most of the time except if you dnf you still might be given a placing which kills your average. I've gone from front row to ungridded because of this. :0(

This was suggested, but the names called have never bettered me. Including a guy that's done one race and I lapped him.

A bit of fun for those looking for an idea of who to cheer for
A break from racing this weekend, so a long overdue road ride is up soon.
Marshaling a UCI event Sunday, so not exactly cross free.
Spiral of doom at Gilwern today.
