I wants it. it'd probably only get used for commuting on road though

cyclocross is so much fun, there is something really ace about riding drop bars on the rougher stuff. I'm sure if you bought one you would be investigating local forests and woods. they are so much more robust than people assume and a long way from regular road bikes...

That does look fun. Cheap too.

Friend of mine has been close to going into the LBS and buying one of these several times now.. it is a fine looking machine but I think he prefers the Genesis Croix de Fer!

Companies are related - owned my madison, as are Saracen nowadays, who incidentally are making some lovely lovely bikes at the moment!

How is it?

Are the brakes cable or hydraulic?

What size have you got and how tall are you? I'm 6'8'' with a 36'' inside leg, so I'm wondering...

I have one and its brilliant, exactly what I use it for road/commute. Took off the cross tyres and fitted some road tyres. 18t on the rear instead of 20t and 42t instead of 40t on the front. I love it
