Kinesis FiveT. A mate has one & loves it, he's owned a few different CX's so has a good handle on them.

I've got a Genesis Vapour & where as i like it I am jelious of the Kinesis 😥

The trouble is it's difficult to get a test ride unless you know someone who owns one in your size 🙄

yeah, do you want a CX bike for racing on, for mucking about on the trails on or because you're too cool for a touring bike?

I want someting that is a bit lighter, faster and can handle more varied terrain than a touring bike.

Halfords were knocking out stock-clearance 2009 model Voodoo Limbas for £400 a couple of months back- some stores might still have them, apparently they don't appear in the stock computers but might be worth a looksee, ridiculously good for the money- lots of 105, scandium+carbon frame, Mavic rims...
