I haven't ridden it as a cross bike yet, only on the road. I also stripped it down since I'm getting some new parts for it. One thing that may be a turn off to people on this site is that it's pretty heavy. The fork is nice and light around 450g but the frame is really heavy. Despite that, it didn't feel that way during the 20 or so miles I've gotten on it. I'm excited to get it built up again.
Ive just ordered one. Have you got a figure for the frame weight? CC are claiming 7.6kg as shown which seems kind of hard to believe.
Ive ordered new cranks, brakes and levers for it. Will probably go thomson for the stem and post as well in the future.

Ya, competitive cyclist's weight on that bike is way off. Realcyclist shows the complete bike like 2kg heavier (the geared version). It's a 4130 frame with tapered HT and sliding dropouts so it definitely isn't going to be less than 4- 4.5lbs.
Also, keep in mind the rear spacing is 130mm (road spacing) but the bike is setup for disc brakes. There aren't too many 130mm disc hubs floating around. Might present itself as a problem should you look to upgrade in the future.

whoa! that's an awesome build! I'm trying to convince my buddy to pick up one of these while they're on sale.
Apparently White Industries makes a 130mm disc hub should you want to upgrade.
