I built up a disc one a year or so back. Love it. Injury & illness have restricted it to only one race (although have done plenty of other riding on it). Handles really nicely, is comfortable, good mud clearance and looks (to my eyes) really good. (the illness & injury has also left me very fat as can be seen in the last pic!)

@simondbarnes - is that a medium (54cm) frame? Looks about right for me……

Nice colour scheme too!

I have and they're awesome - Bought 1 disc and 1 canti and i prefer my canti bike. I've come off more expensive Cx bikes (Ridley X-Night SL) and I much prefer the feel from the Crockett.

Even built mine Di2 with all internal routing.

The only thing I'll probably change it for is the new one when they launch it.

Excellent bike very stable and really good handling to be honest I think its a better bike than the Boone.

Well if you're going to be slow you may as well have a laugh doing it!
And I rode up the bit the bloke behind me in an aero helmet pushed up 🙂

Exactly! A Christmas messsage right there.If you're not having fun you're doing something wrong (and I had noticed out climbing the guy behind)

I also applaud the out climbing and colour coordination.
