Bikes: BMC Roadracer, Cube Cross Race Disc

My BMC's frame cracked (was under warranty, never got a replacement but that's another story....). I've been commuting on my road bike since, but here in the north the road season is coming to end for this year so I needed a new bike.

Got a killer deal on a Cube Cross Disc frameset, and built it up. Stripped some pats off the BMC, and bought some new.
Components:
- Shimano 5700 (shifters, FD, cassette 12-25, chain), 6700 RD, CX50 crankset (46/36).
- Avid BB7 road brakes (160mm).
- Wheels are Mavic A317 disc rims, Sapim Race spokes, DT Pro Lock nipples and Novatec hubs.
- Ritchey Comp post, WCS saddle and WCS Evo Curve bar. Scor stem.
- Schwalbe CX Comp 35mm tyres

Took it for a spin this afternoon. I'm pleased with the outcome. Tyre clearance seems to tighter than on my old bike, don't know if the 40mm studded winter tyres will fit or not.
