I love my Arkose. It's a hell of a lot of frame/bike for the money. So far I can't fault it. I've not done proper CX style off roaring yet but I've no doubt it'll be fine as the geo feels good for it.
I went for the SS version with EBB so I had he option to run geared or SS. Currently it's set up in SS mode but I plan to run gears later in the year at CX races. All you need to run geared is a rear mech hanger. The standard Arkose one will fit. It has cable stops for front & rear mechs. Plus the paint is retro 90's cool! :-)
