The frame is an On-One Dirty Disco. It's basically and all carbon cyclocross frame with disc mounts. I am going to add the following now that I have the frame: Avid BB7 road disc brakes (160mm), SRAM Force gruppo, CK hubs and BB, DT Swiss RR465 rims and FSA K-Wing compact handlebars (love those drop bars). Thinking about the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme HDV tire for my 20 mile round trip commute.
My original plans for this bike was to build up a winter commuter so that my six13 dura ace doesn't have to endure the winter roads as I ride to work everyday. I was always a runner first, cyclist second (I know, boooooo!) but I blew out my knee and have a really bad nagging hip injury from a big wipeout surfing up here on the frigid coast. Cycling doesn't seem to aggravate either of the injuries much, so now I am slowly transitioning to being a cyclist first (well, maybe get back into running someday).
At some point, when I can recover from these annoying injuries, I would like to attend cyclocross events up here in Portland, but for now, I am sticking to the roads.

Not the best image of the bike but someone on the last page asked about full cf cross bikes.
2011 Fuji Altamira CX2.0
Full carbon frame, Ultegra drive train, FSA Team carbon crank, Avid Shorty 4s, Oval Concept carbon clincher wheelset.
It's pretty much stock minus the Thompson 0 offset seatpost and the fork mounted brake hanger. I don't have any stationary pictures of the bike yet been too busy with work, school, and racing but now that the season is over I plan to snap a few quick shots.

Build complete. Unofficially, right around 16lbs. Now I just need to find some fenders that will fit for my commuting (no fender mounts on the dropouts, no traditional brake mounts). Maybe a seatpost fender, like the ones used with mtn bikes?

Looks sick. I've been riding my Soma Doublecross w/ disc brakes for awhile. I love it, but I always wonder how it would feel to have carbon w/ disc brakes. I didn't realize they made carbon frames with disc brake mounts (I've been out of the cycling news loop for awhile since I stopped working at the bike shop)

Mine is currently set up more as a road bike than a CX bike. Not quite finished yet...
Edit: Made some changes to this. I put Tektro RX3 mini-V brakes on instead of cantilevers, so I was able to get rid of the front/rear cable hangers. It's a full carbon frame/fork, Ultegra crank and RD, 105 FD (because it had a clamp ring and my Ultegra one did not), Suntour rachet shifters (I didn't care for the brake shifters I had on it). It's currently under 20lbs, which I'm hoping to get lighter when I can afford more upgrades. Whole thing was under $500 so far.

My budget touring/poor weather/bad roads bike (~$650):
51cm Cannondale CAAD 8: 1x9 speed
HungFu full carbon fork, Ultegra hubs Mavic Open Pro 9-speed wheelset, 39t Ultegra road crank, Ultegra front derailleur used as chain keeper, Dura Ace bar end shifter, Easton EA50 stem & handlebar, Crane Creek SCR-5C brake levers, Shimano BR-R550 cantilever brakes and Michelin 700x32 cyclo cross jet tires.
I am still trying to get used to riding it (making tight turns in particular). Although it is a 51cm, the headtube is slightly higher than my 54cm road bike. I have to lower the stem all the way down to match. Other than that, everything works great. Not harsh at all.
