Quiet here. The last post was over 2 years ago....
I'd offer to liven things up by posting what I'm doing with my CX here (as well as on CXforum) but since I stopped commuting I don't need to do nearly as much work on it so that has slowed to a trickle.
I could post some highlights of how Eccles became what it is. If anyone is interested let me know.
Awful quiet in this part of the forum...

A few of us had CXs over the years … mine's long gone … could never get really comfortable on it although it ran beautifully. Tried all sorts of adjustments, risers and peg lowering, but couldn’t make it fit.
Guess I’m just a weird shape and size … the old Wings worked and the 'new' KLR is fine too.

Had the same problem with my ST1100, great bike, but I couldn’t get comfortable on it.Guess I’m just a weird shape and size … the old Wings worked and the 'new' KLR is fine too.

Reading almost everything posted on this site is part of my daily routine. Won't have much to contribute but I did have a Silverwing some years ago. Never could get used to riding it after being on four cylinder bikes since the early 70's. Keep posting, I'm reading.
