Pretty new to cross and my current frame (an old Blue CX) didn't survived the first cross race I rode it in (got a huge crease in top tube).
Am looking around for a decent budget-ish replacement and my local shop offered me a pretty good discount on one of the Dolan Cross frames:

Just wondered if anyone has any feedback, seen anyone racing etc?
Not too sure what to make of the frame. It seems pretty light, Dolan have a good reputation on the track and its black which helps. However, its cable routing is like a road bike and it does have holes drilled from racks and fenders, which seems to indicate it may be too much of an all around machine.
