That is beautiful. Set it up with discs, cx wheels, fixed, mudguards and a rack and it would be the ultimate commuting machine ...

Well the saga continues!. Basically Wheelbase took my deposit then told me they have already sold out of the Focus mares AX 2.0,this was after me waiting for weeks for the bike i finally found and wanted within my budget.
So now looking at this (if i can get hold of one)-could change the chainrings,tyres take guards of etc

For that money, I'd take a serious look at the [url=http://www.decathlon.co.uk/cyclo-cross-2010-id_8113183.html]B:Twin CX bike at Decathlon[/url]



(Edit - drat, just seen it is out of stock. May be worth telephoning and asking about it, though)
