Just got a sweet deal on an '09 X-Fire w/Force, Askium build. Ridiculously low price ($1999). Your review got me stoked. Used Ridley's X-Bow in a cross race last weekend, and it really gripped and accelerated - even while standing & applying power up the hills. I would have gone w/a lower model, but at this price, it was impossible to pass up.
Ok so he's not the historian you thought he was...to Graeme defense he did say, "the Belgians just about invented Cyclocross" .
Besides who gives a flip who invented the sport...just ride.
To ride is to live.
