Brant says it's a no no - but why? He hasn't responded to my idle musing so thought i would ask you lot? Surely it is strong enough??
What's the tyre clearance like? My old one struggled with 32 conti twisters
The only issue I can see is tyre size.
I cx'd on a Pompetamine, 32mm tyres, worked well.
32 conti cyclocross race tyres fit no probs - even with guards
Change of tune then as it used to sold as a do anything bike.
Tyre width [i]may[/i] be an issue but race tyres are narrow anyway. tough as old boots. Mine had stacks of abuse.

Probably just fine, but doubt it would be anyones first choice if buying a CX bike. Which tells you something.*

As I just said on Twitter...
"@robmjackson 415mm chainstays for a fun road feel. Fill your boots. Do what you want, but it ain't a Cx bike."
