After having a play on my team mates carbon bike I'd like to treat myself to one too. But can I find one anywhere? Nope.
Something like a Scott Addict CX, Carbon Crux, Stevens ..... I'm not too fussed but I can't find a frameset anywhere on the net. I do need a 58 to 60cm so that doesn't help, but I thought it might be easier than this!

As a rider who runs a 58-60cm frame myself you'll do very well to find a carbon cross frame in stock anywhere. even as pre orders it took as long as 6 months to get hold of my Addict frames. However my mate is a rep for Scott and he mentioned a while back that Scott had bumped out a load of old colour way frames to the shops in XL (58) so maybe there's one hiding someplace.

Thanks for that, I'll do some digging. How do you get on with your Addicts?

Great bikes for racing, if not the best. forks a little twangy maybe as the only critisism. super stiff, very light. Mine were the HMX with Ritchey WCS forks which has been discontinued due to being too expensive!

If you get stuck and Slane can't help, direct mail me and i'll ask my mate where might have one in stock....
