I guess when people buy CX bicycle, they almost never intend to race on them.
What? Have you watched any Cyclocross?
It's full of all kinds of bikes, from 'purpose-built race rig' to 'beater'. What it isn't full of is fucking twats saying, "No sorry, you can't enter this race, your frameset has bottle-cage bosses."
Who's this?
Oh look, it's Professional Cyclocross racer Julie Krasniak competing in a sanctioned UCI Cyclocross race on her Team-issue Focus Rapha Cyclocross race bike.
Hello, what are those bosses on her seat-tube?
