I don't want much, light, cross frame for racing not just as a commuter/alternative to hard tail.
I paln use by road bike as a donar for most all the parts except the brakes which are easy to source. Thinking of the Kenesis evo4, any other suggestions?
OCCP from [url= http://www.youtube.com/user/GOKISObicycle#p/a/u/2/JsAIu5VxT40 ]shopforcross[/url], same frame as the Poison bikes. Light weight for the price
I have a 2 year old 54cm BMC cx02 frame/fork for sale if that's of interest?
aP - sorry I'm over 6 ft, look for 58cm or so, would have been nice though.

But I am horrendously biased as have a WTF and one of those on order 🙂
No worries.
Scott CX is very popular at the races. It has lots of mud clearance, which if it's your only bike is a big factor. The Kenesis bikes, which good, do tend to start to clog after a bit. Empella or Columbus are also popular choices.
Giant TCX frameset might be worth a look. I race one so this is a totally unbiased opinion!

If you are tall, this is probably a good buy;

The Paul Milnes ones are good value (ebay shop). You have to put your own bottle boss riv-nuts in though if you plan on drinking though real men don't.
This looks pretty good?

Kinesis EVO 4 is a very nice frame. Light, carbon rear stays and with the fork judder issue fully resolved. TCX is OK but not as good IMO.
