Here is a rather inchoate, subject to change and otherwise rambling idea for a new bike:
The idea being a true year round use bike, one that would see all my winter training miles and rainy day rides.
Discuss argue.
CX bike would be put back to use as a CX bike.
I've been thinking about what AndyP says- if you're going to use it for CX, use parts that you can replace the day after you break them without wincing.
It sounds lovely and if you want a custom build and have the means why not. But TBH your boardman sounds like its already set up for your "all year round training bike" (geo aside). So I'd do the opposite and get a proper second hand cx racing bike and wennie is up with cheap parts. 50mm Chinese carbon tubs, apex, etc.
