Arrived at 2pm, finished work, built and rode 20 miles

XLS from Planet X

It climbs fast, has great brakes and cuts through mud.

More miles due over the Bank Holiday

They do plug through mud very well, don't they! Something to do with narrow tyres and the frame geometry?

I almost got one of those! I went for a direct Chinese carbon frame in the end but it was a close run thing.

Enjoy! Looks good ๐Ÿ™‚

No problem. It's an mc098 from miracle /Ican on aliexpress. It's the same as a fuji altamira disc.

I'll do a review once it's built and ridden.

Looks fun. Not a big fan of the 12K look.

Enjoy.

Very nice indeed. CX bikes truly rock.

Just hoping I won't be too jealous of my neighbour's new carbon CX bike...... ๐Ÿ˜‰
