OK it's not a road bike but I thought this would be the best place for it.

That's a small. It's got SRAM Rival groupset and Avid Shorty 6 cantis on it.

It weighs 20.6lbs with basic SPD pedals on it.

    Awesome, they're great bikes. Does yours have the flared down tube and the press-in bearings? I got a 2010 frame which doesn't have this (not that it matters a whole lot) but I love thrashing it on MTB trails or taking it touring or just commuting on it. Its one of the best biking purchases I've made.

    looks lovely and perfect for winter. Im a recent convert to cx bikes and love mine to bits.

    Did a 50 mile road ride yesterday on mine it was a blast.

    enjoy

    Had to do a double take as in the pic the drop bars almost get lost and it looks like a flat bar bike

    very nice, any more pics, side on views for example?

    I'll get some side-on shots when I am overtaking him in the SCX races this year. Will post them up in due course 8)

    You'd better stop guising aboot following time trials in your car and get training then mate, you've got a lot of ground to make up. Mind I'll not be able to drag you round the course in CX like I have to do in road races.

    I'll also not be taking any more of you 'my head hurts' abandonment excuses. :D

    I'll see if I can get some more side shots, it's a bit muddier now.

    :D Funnily enough, I am suffering with a severe cold at the minute so the cx season is hanging in the balance already :P

    Side shot, sorry it took so long. The bike is now considerably dirtier than this you'll be glad to know.

    Very nice. What size are the front chainrings?

    Doesnt look like much of a step up/down between them in that picture.

    My commuter bike is mostly white, used every day and is still mostly white. I hope none of us would be glad to know you are mistreating a nice bike :lol:

    i wouldn't say getting a cyclo-x bike muddy would be viewed as mistreating it

    It's a 46-36 at the front which is fairly standard for CX but reckon I'll pop a 34 on there instead. The 36 would be handy for my road bike as I find the 34 is a bit too much of a jump from the 50 at times.

    EDIT - oh and it looks better muddy :D
