Just wondered if you'd guys seen much about formula cross? I've just read up on it in the UK where it'll be a while before the units appear (if at all) I have to say I'm fairly impressed with the idea and the pricing.

Possible retrofit for cannondale? or is that woefully optimistic?

Wouldnt a 450 be a bit underpowered even built to 50 plus horsepwoer? Im thinking somewhere around 80 to 100 horse would match the weight of something 800 pounds loaded.Or is it just to keep the speeds down.

Looking at the inventory list, I think it uses alot of what's there allready. Based on the fact that side by side sales in the UK have been very slow (largely due to price) I think it has a real chance over here. Not that there's any plans to release it yet, there's also a very slim chance that it could be street legal.

When are you starting the build? IV all ways wanted to build one. Are you going to race or just do your own thing?
