Wednesday spy shot revealed: it's a Whyte CX bike!

Im confused by the bolt on top-tube mounts, wont be particularly pleasant if you get your dimount wrong

Ok. Perhaps it's not a Charge. Bloody nice looking bike though!

How wrong I was.

I guess the fork isn't the production model, since it doesn't match the diameter of the headtube, and it isn't post mount. (First time I've seen a bike with a post mount rear, and ISO mount fork!)

Still mystified by the top rack mounts and no lowers.

Is it Alastair Campbell's Triandrun stripped down and ready to be sold on? Ok, perhaps not. More likely to be a new Charge, and it'll probably be ridden on Park Street

its only got one brifter...

For my 2p worth...all the previos suggestions popped into my mind, so its a waste of time suggesting those , so thinking outside the box a little

"Isla Bikes are extending outside the brilliant kids bikes they create and doing a cross bike for the big kids..."

im clutching at straws really

Post mount rear - got to be euro...

Whyte CX prototype?

I'd say it is not a Kinesis, since they don't route their front derailleur along the top tube.

I thought it was a single speed until I realised that it just doesn't have the rear hanger bolted on.

Whyte do use BB30, but I'd expect the dropouts to look more elegant, and I think they'd put the disc brake mount on the chainstay. Likewise Ragley would put the brake mount on the chainstay.

It is made from Aluminium, so I can't see it being a Cotic. But then the reinforcing strut makes it look a lot like a Cotic, so I'd say it is a Cotic.

But where is the lower mount for a rear rack?

Got to be On-One

An Alu cotic?! blasphemy!

Im now wondering if it could be a shop brand, Pinnacle perhaps?

Obviously a Cotic tourey crossey sort of thing?

is it a new kinesis fast commuter?

Actually, looking at the top-tube cable guides it could be a ragley. ??

Post mount disc brakes, tapered head tube, BB30. Quite a unique spec, cant imagine what it could be. Suppose there is a chance it could be a new Kinesis cx bike but they have one like that already, Genesis have the CDF, boardman wouldnt go to this spec id have thought, what else is left? Ragley? not with those dropouts, on-one? again no (they have a new Kaff in proto but its not that one. Im kinda stumped. Charge bikes maybe?

I would say it's a bicycle frame. Don't tell me I'm wrong cos I'm not.

I would say a Boardman 29er but as this is Road.cc I suppose that is a little too MTB.

So a Boardman disc CX/light tourer.

I think it's a bow and arrow.

OK - here's my twopenneth on this one. It's a Whyte prototype disc specific cyclocross frame with just a nod towards the hybrid/touring/commuter end of the market.

Is it one of the new Boardman range of bikes?

Ooh, hydroforming - cannondale disc 'cross with design farmed out to UK?

The new on-one cross bike? (New kaffenback or superseding kaffenback?)

Nope

And what I mean by that is:

"A wide-ranging, all-terrain, all-year round 700c drop-bar Reynolds 725 steel bike with disc brakes."

Is it the Genesis Croix de Fer?
