Best cyclocross bike under £1000 and other CX chat

Aren't those what James is using on his commute-o-crosser?

Looks like it here.

A friend rides the 32c version of these on his cross bike when we go out and they've been good. All that volume means he's all "what?" whilst we're trying to hussle 23mm tyres over gravel decents and potholed climbs.

on the road they are awesome, utter hooligan nodder special tyres, i can just run over potholes etc with no care taken, they roll quite fast, just need to be wound up to speed
