But if you find one bigger (55-57cm) let me know first

There's a 49cm Tricross frame on the British Cycling classifieds site here, http://new.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/article/bcst-Classified-Adverts
But I'm thinking I'll go with one that takes 650c wheels as the toe overlap on such a small frame will be terrible with 700c wheels. Thinking I'll hit up some of the kids' races and see if there are outgrown ones for sale. :)

The 2005 Specialized Tricross Comp for £300 looks good. there is nothing on the bay under £800
Looks like i'll have to stick knobblies on my winter bike and hope the low BB doesn't get me in too much trouble -

Thanks, will give the guy a shout and see. These small frames are sure hard to come by :-( Good idea about trying to get a 2nd hand junior one, will let you know if i come across anything. You racing this season then..?

Yep, I'm gonna give it a go this winter once I get back from Ironman Hawaii and recovered from that. Thinking it'll be good post-race motivation to try something new! CX looks like a lot of fun.
Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a 2nd hand 47cm-49cm cyclo cross bike..?
Any help greatly appreciated.
