Because some people have too much time on their hands...


The other question is "Is that a CX?"

Because they can?

I'm about to undertake my custom build. It might look shite at the end, but at least I had a go! That guy has had the tenacity to finish the project: for that alone, good on him.

Cx's are the current flavour of the month for messing about with, mainly flat trackers of which there's some lovely looking ones!

I built a cx up from a box or several of bits I got from the brother in law. Cost another £500 in bits and was only worth £550 when finished but it passed a couple of years.

He's put it on a trailer.....hmmmmm, methinks he must be taking it to the dump? Cheaper than hiring a skip.

Easy! I'm looking for a CX for nostalgia reasons.

Not many left that haven't been cafe-ed or triked.  :'(

yep I aggree , by christo its was loud tho ! , I think the exhausts were straight through !  it was 60 yards away and shock the windows and doors !
 
up close it was sadly lacking in fine details , but as it will probably spend a far  while sat at the side of the roads being a cx i dont think that will matter !
