Then you may be interested in this.......




The Focus Mares CX 1.0 Rapha

Just seen it in one of the Cycling magazines, and it looks fab. Not normally a fan of CX or Rapha, but who wouldn't want one of these? Only 7.3kg as well, so no real weight hike over a pure road bike. Full carbon frame and forks, Easton EC-90SL wheels and SRAM Red. What's not to like??



(Not entirely sure about the pink bar-tape.)

Very nice, as raced by Jeremy Powers and the UK's unsung lady of cross Gabby Day.

Would like to try one, back to back with the Cannondale HiMod Super X and see if I can feel an improvement over my current SuperX.
