Is retro cyclocross bikes a thing?

[jimo746]

Failing that, I could always try CX racing on a rigid retro MTB...

Any mtb would do. I think cx is 90% about fitness tbh.
But a retro rigid mtb would be good, I probably did more cx races on my mtb than mtb races bitd!

Don’t know if it’s really a thing but here’s my retro CX bike...

That's another way in, i rode my XC race bike with rigids and Conti XC 1.5" for a season or two when i was without a CX bike.

Nah, 75% fitness, 20% technique, 4% pit crew, 1% bike

And that 1% is further taken down to actual bike 0.8% and the 0.2% being a poor rucksack emulator.

Thread ressurection, I've been trying to find out about a frame I bought some time ago, it's a ti Rock Lobster cyclocross frame, the guy sold it as a 90's bike but couldn't be more specific. I've done nothing with it as I didn't have a matching fork and stem but now I do.
