Lovely bike. Not a million miles from what I have planned. Bought one of the EBB frames and a couple of rear hangers after the frame was reduced to £224- hard to say no at that price

Thanks Chris & @Chak
That's a great price for the frame. I paid 300 only just over a month ago... Feel although I've been ripped off now lol.
I've just pulled the pin on some Shimano RS685 Hydro brakes and shifters along with some Ultegra mechs. Plus some 38mm crabon clinchers for racing season. I'll be using it for racing come autumn then an all rounder/tourer come next year.
What's your plans Chris?

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! :-)
