    Quite a few people with big smiles, riding Croix de Fer at this year's 3PCX.

    Don't doubt it wheeze, I have the similar Day One and it's huge fun.

    Not exactly the same as a CAADX though, but I shouldn't have commented really without reading the review.

    Sora will be fine on a Cross used as a training bike. Poor things take a right kicking it's not worth have flash kit most of the time.
