Best cyclocross bike under £1000 and other CX chat

Does anyone have any experience of the Voodoo Limba?

I have fond memories of Voodoo but when I began seeing them in Halfords it shook me a little. Is that the same company that made 853 MTB frames?

The cross bike is scandium frame with carbon stays and forks, with 105 group. It's at a good price in my local halfords, just wondering if anyone has ridden one or knows what's going on with Voodoo? Is the frame just a generic Taiwan job branded by a bought out Voodoo?

The brand went under some years ago. It was then saved/bought-out by some far east outfit, and cheaper production combined with the existing brand rep, sorted things out.

The new owners employed Joe Murry, to keep the US theme, and the brand moving forward. So the design, and ethos, of the frames is as good as ever, but the production has moved.

Well something like that. Tis early here.

IMHO they still make great bikes.
