I have searched but I cant find it, i know of
Boardman

What else it there, ideally more race ready than touring?
colnago prestige. oh yes... 8)
Condor's Bivio-X is available with disc mounts.
Shand also do 1 but i cant remember the name.
Ooh i like the condor!
Colnago is nice to [but out of my price range]
EDIT-Condor also have the Terra-x available with disk mounts. It looks lovely in brown!

I went for the kinesis crosslight pro 6 in the end:

Oooh, I was fondling a Kinesis Pro6 yesterday in Ride On in Rawtenstall. I'm going to wait until Shimano launch their hydraulic road brake though.
I notice you've a fair stack of spacers on the stem; how do you reckon the position will turn out? I don't want anything too racy as this will be my winter trainer/tourer/possible CXer.
Thanks organic.
I cant believe you have not built it yet!! Looking nice.
Spoke to upgrade yesterday and they say 8 weeks till the pro 6 is back in stock.
Think i have fallen for the condor terra x now so ive emailed them.

Just whacked them all on to start with and going to progressively lower it until its right. The seatpost in the pic is way to high for my hobbit legs anyway so everything will prob drop quite a bit.
Once Ive got the wheels on I will get a better feel of how high I want the stem. its all a bit of an experiment at the minute, not sure if the stem is even the right length (100mm) and angle, as it seems a lot shallower angle than my road bike stem.
Thanks organic.

See my other post about bits getting lost in the post!! Most of the other bits should arrive today (or sit in the delivery office until saturday!)
Just waiting on a wheelset from JRA, then I will nearly be there. Then just gotta decide cable or hydraulic discs, but nobody seems to know when SRAM reds hydraulics will be out???
Remember the On-One Uncle John has a disc tab on the frame (though not on the fork).
Am going to hold out for a while yet until there's lots of choice. But that Condor.... 😛
Bit more versatile than the average CX frame - but the Singular Peregrine is perhaps also worth considering.

I got mine from fat birds dont fly and at a really good price
http://www.fatbirds.co.uk/22281/products/kinesis-crosslight-pro-6-cyclocross-frameset-white.aspx
website says 3-5 days, worth a call?
- nearly bought one but couldn't source any carbon disk forks in UK at the time and I'd rather not ride a non-carbon forkRemember the On-One Uncle John has a disc tab on the frame
ended up with pro6 as a frameset couldn't resist
somewhere in the last thread on this someone posted a picture of i think a very nice rose bikes disk cx
Soma Double Cross
Whyte do a few cross/commuter bikes with disc brakes. I bought the Kings Cross one to do some road/off road stuff straight from the door and it is pretty fun. May need some better tires, thinking about some Kenda small block 8s.
Bruk, do you mean one of these?

Got one too. It's not really a traditional cross bike, more a mongrel of cross and mountain bike, so maybe not for a racer. I like mine a lot....
Not an out-and-out cross racer, but it does me as a winter/commuter/tourer/off-roader

Yes, like that. Haven't got round to upgrading the tyres yet. what have you got on yours Little Tones?

Some very vague ones, possibly something between the current Kite and Peregrine which may replace them both... How many 700c drop barred, disc-equipped, multi-purpose bikes can you have in one product line?
Shand also do 1 but i cant remember the name.

jebus that shand is the usual collection of straight tubes in triangles, how come it looks so pretty?!
That Shand is lovely!
Liking the Hope stickered bikes to.
Wheel recommendations please.
Will be doing a lot of road miles and have just ordered a Pro6 at a bargainal £459.
Bruk, Schwalbe Smart Sams, no other reason than they were cheap from On-One. Work OK on and off road.
Cheers LitteTones, looking for something that's still ok on road because that's where most of the time is spent right now. Off to the on-one shop then.

My new build. Loads of fun, and feels fast. Serious amount of toe-overlap and I'm used to overlap, so had to get shorter cranks. Quite a bit of paint chip before being ridden in anger.
Hoping to love it as much as the Swift.
This is about the 3rd post on this topic, so I'll trot out my usual pic of my Pro6, now 6 months old.

That Shand does look lovely - like the colour. You racing it in 2012? Edinburgh 48 next week?
Good thread.
I'm almost finihsed a Planet X Uncle John build, with Riser bars and hydraulic disc brakes.
It will be my " get around " bike.
I'm already planning my next bike.
I want a road bike, with Hydraulic disc brakes.
I've been surfing and it seems that some of the manufs are looking at hydraulic brake levers, but some seem to be aiming to use hydro brakes in conjunction with Di2.
I want hydro, disc brakes, with cable operated gears.
On a road bike.
So far its looking like SRAM, if they, when they, bring it out.
Anyone else looking for a road bike, not cyclocorss.
With hydro brakes, cable operated mechs ?.
( I'm not interested in the - Are hydro brakes really [i]needed[/i] for road bikes, discussion )
😉

Yep, there'll be at least one Stooshie there, probably not me though.
Oooh ... like that Pearson ...
Is that available or a special one off ?
I ve found a pro6 in my size so deposit paid and going to spec some parts this week.
Going to go bb7 and ultegra 1x 10 for now.
I've had a pro 3 and 5 before so know how good they are, where as I've never seen a condor.
I thought id resurrect this thread given that we're in 2013 now. anyone seen any new cx disc frames out there?
Carbon disc frames from China are starting to appear but still 450 all in
www.light-bicycle.com/carbon-cyclocross-bicycle-frame-cyclo-cross-disc-cycle-cross-bikes-frames.html
Thinking about a new road bike to replace the Kaffenback . Was going fairly conventional but now wondering about future proofing myself with a light disc compatible frame to go along side my Cotic X.
Like the x but would now buy something more monstercross.
Certainly not light but i love my Fargo and it'll run pretty much any tyre you want. I have 2.35" Big Apples on mine and it just eats up the potholes and country lanes. Switch the tyres and it's pretty capable off road as well.
MrTall - MemberSwitch the tyres and it's pretty capable [s]off[/s] [u]on[/u] road as well.
FTFY 😛
My most used bike at the moment. In winter it's my road bike, in summer it's a bridleway/light trail bike. Minimal maintenance with the Alfine hub and BB7 brakes. Not what you would call light though. Makes me very happy to get back on my road bike. Edit, or indeed my mountain bike.

If you're going to race cross you'll want something lighter than a Peregrine.
I love mine, but it's too heavy to carry far.
terra x is lovely, any more nice ones.
No but I have had two focus bikes (one road and one cross) and really rated them. Still got the roadie but upgraded the cross and ended up with the kinesis pro 6 cause it was on offer.
Focus are always on my list now though when looking at new bikes
I saw that Focus in the flesh the other day. Very nice.
There's a black carbon felt with green decals that's nice, some nice person put up a pic.
Rosebikes have some nicely speced good value bikes. 105/bb7/carbon fork/ slk finishing kit. All for a little over a grand. Might be on my list.
Those salsa's look lovely! Great alright bike. Those light-bicycle frames are undecalled Fuji cx frames, have been tempted but don't need (afford) anymore bikes 🙁
Forme Looks good value

We just got an email at work last week that we are now on CycleScheme.
Now I'm reading threads about disc braked CX bikes, with a list of available bikes and pictures.
This can only end one way...

Ken - I think you need to go down the custom route old boy :O)
I've got a friend who's 6'7'' and had Enginma knock him up a Ti road bike and they made it look normal. It's got the longest headtube in the world but the bike looks "right."
It's a shame that so many seem to be going as complete bikes only rather than being available as frame and fork.
MTG - I reckon you'll love a cross bike - will suit you down to the ground.
timbur - MemberKen - I think you need to go down the custom route old boy :O)
LOL didn't stop you selling me the Roadrat 😯
The Major Jake is a 60cm frame and the Voodoo is a 20" MTB frame
I think I'll get a measure up at my LBS to see what size I really need
