But surely enough people are putting Rohloffs on drop bar bikes that Rohloff should get their arse in gear .

? lots
There are loads of botch jobs out there, to get a Rohloff shifter on drops. They're all a bit poo.

This looks so much fun!

Not pretty, but I can see the thinking behind every component choice, and the frame is very nice indeed. Would just use a fatter front tyre.

hmm. I do believe that the use of disk brakes in cycloX racing is not permitted. Oh...and i nearly forgot...my dad was arkansas cycloX state champion 3 years running...so you know...maybe i know fuck all!

Loads of cyclocross bikes have disc's these days (want one myself), not everyone races. You have a point though, as the trueblood is priced such that you'd want to be allowed to race it (though theres plenty of 5k Cervelos out there that'll never see a race).
