Nice.
Carbon one piece bars for cross... brave man.
Speedplay pedals with their expensive, slippery and cheese-like cleats... well balanced and deep pocketed man.
Agree on the carbon seatpost looking a little funny and maybe not being up to cross, but whateva, its a seatpost.
I think running gear cabling below the DT on a MTB or cross bike is a bit silly, but that cannot be changed. If it were me, I would have full length liners, as I am lazy and do not clean my bikes much.
Edit: just realised that the tyres are road tyres, in which case, it seems like an awesome winter bike, I guess. I live in Australia and we have no need for 'winter bikes'

Well its finally finished, though still experimenting with the handlebar stem height. Changed the Use Alien Aero and Fizik Arione carbon to a EC90 and Arione CX carbon and have added mudguards and a computer. I've lusted after a 'Dale cross bike for years as a winter trainer and am stoked at the final outcome

Nice bike as always CAADHEAD
The EC90 post and Arione fit like twins (I like to create new expression as an english-noob)
I would have loved to have such a bike for a good winter training. Ride comfy on the road and if it's snowing or freezing, swap the wheels for cross tires and get offroad (have a forest next home ) without changing position.
Well, maybe then, going back on the race bike isn't the same position
