We're not sure if you've read, but cyclocross has been in the news in a big way this week. Now, we don't think there's anything untoward going on inside the seat tube of the Raleigh RX below, but you'll have to buy one to find out.
Of course, if you're going to go looking for - or installing your own - hidden motors in cyclocross bikes from Chain Reaction Cycles, you'll need some tools. Fortunately, the DealCatcher's got you covered there. Over at Hargroves their Essence Tool Kit from IceToolz has seen a 33% discount.
On a totally unrelated note, Leisure Lakes Bikes have 30% off their rather charming looking selection of Castelli Gregge 12 Socks.
Check 'em out.
Chain Reaction Cycles
We reviewed the RX Race's older brother back in 2013. We gave its earlier incarnation a solid 8/10, if that can give you any idea what to expect from this 2015 edition.
The modern day RX will see you through harsh weather on your daily commute and deep mud on a cyclocross course.
We can't testify as to the ease of which a motor could be installed into the seat tube, but I guess that's something you can explore for yourselves.
Hargroves Cycles
We jested earlier that you'd need tools to install a hidden motor into your bike.
Of course you'll need tools, but maybe not these tools.

SIS/Shimano BB Tool (11B1); 8 Groove Spoke wrench (12F8); Cassette Tool (09C1); Crank Puller 04C2); Chain Tool (61C2); 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 & 6mm Hex Key Set (36Q1); 6 adjustable wrench (25H6); 8mm Hex key (35V8); 8 & 10mm open ended spanner; 2 x Flat head screw drivers; 2 x Cross head screw drivers; 1/2 Drive adapter; Hollowtech 2/MegaExo BB Tool (11F1); Chain Whip; Pedal & Box Wrench (34A2); & a Nylon Tyre Lever Set.

Finally, socks.
You can never have too many socks. Ever. If you were denied the pleasure of opening a pair for Christmas, now's the chance to treat yourself.
These are top quality Castelli socks. Merino wool - with fabulous moisture wicking abilities, comfort in temperatures between 0-12 degrees, and a 12cm cuff for extra protection from the elements for your feet.
Velogames for me as well, TDU should be open soonish....
My favourite team was the Agritubel-Gerolsteiner-Saeco-Parmalat-CreditAgricole-Segafreddo-Soudal-Quickstep-Mapei-FassaBortolo squad.
Brompton are taking a huge risk on their new ~£100m manufacturing centre / HQ - to the point the business could be seen to be a highly speculative...
I presume that you have to register and set up an account first? So you'd have to know what app was being used in the particular town or area or...
That is not Shoreditch that is Haggerston. Thanks for mansplaining the rest of it. Totally useless post.
Very stylish
I'm not into road group rides myself, but from what I hear leaving slower riders behind is no exception. That said, it was of course just a matter...
Reading the You Tube comments, the Company is doubling down in the most sanctimonious way. Apprently, he's "DonE hIs ReSeaRch".
Try to be socially-responsible and you go out of business....
I still have one of those! The old string-vest style base layer. Came with a free 4-pack of Stella Artoris....
