You've probably seen the banner ad on this site - On One (~ Planet X) are right there - in at (pretty much) the start with their foot firmly down in the market adapting to disc brakes on cyclocross bikes.  This is amongst the first widely available full carbon race frame with discs to hit the UK Cyclocross Market whilst other industry leaders are still dithering.

I was unlucky enough to have not quite ridden the first sample Dirty Disco frame to get into the country when it was loaned to me in the 2011 3 peaks cyclocross. I got the bike 3 days before the race and the first time I got on it (for more than a mile's test ride) was actually in the race.  It was a bad day for me and having carried the featherweight bike to the top of Whernside, I was to puncture as soon as the downhill gallop started. Not ideal... suffice to say that riding a front flat for four miles to a spare bike is no way to carry out any form of 'review'.  Later in the race I was to fall hard and awkwardly (on a different bike!) and broke my collarbone.  Cyclocross, racing, and the Dirty Disco were going to have to wait.

So it was finally this Sunday that I got to race on this bike. Perhaps one race and a handful of training sessions on a new bike are not enough to fully assess the subtleties of a good race bike, but  the clearest thing I can say is that I barely noticed I was riding it.  Any shortcomings were entirely in my legs over the unseasonally fast course at Stadt Moers on the edge of Liverpool.  The clichés could flow out about the bike doing what you want to do but I can honestly say that I hardly noticed it was there.  It handles perfectly.  One finger braking from the tops.  Gears (Sram Red on my bikes) perfectly dialed... I just had to pedal. (Okay... I know - I have to pedal harder ... I'm working on that).

Alan (@crossjunkie) Dorrington described it along these lines, too:
It just simply comes together in one complete package that lets you get on with the riding, fast or slow, dry or muddy and does not intrude in any way at all

I'm sure you'll be hearing much more from me about this bike.  It's very impressively priced and will no doubt become very popular.  The company has that sort of heritage - you'll be pushed to turn up at a cyclocross race of any sort and not see it's older cousin the Planet X Uncle John - One One and Planet X do this sort of thing so well. (Frame & Forks here £599 and Full Sram Rival Build starting at £1499 here)

If you see me about at the next few rounds of the National Trophy (early doors, for the elder gentlemen's races at 10:30 am) then please come and say hi and check out the bikes... you'll be impressed. You might try to pretend you aren't but you will be.  (You're stoic and you like cyclocross)
