We're not sure if you've read, but cyclocross has been in the news in a big way this week. Now, we don't think there's anything untoward going on inside the seat tube of the Raleigh RX below, but you'll have to buy one to find out.
Of course, if you're going to go looking for - or installing your own - hidden motors in cyclocross bikes from Chain Reaction Cycles, you'll need some tools. Fortunately, the DealCatcher's got you covered there. Over at Hargroves their Essence Tool Kit from IceToolz has seen a 33% discount.
On a totally unrelated note, Leisure Lakes Bikes have 30% off their rather charming looking selection of Castelli Gregge 12 Socks.
Check 'em out.
Chain Reaction Cycles
We reviewed the RX Race's older brother back in 2013. We gave its earlier incarnation a solid 8/10, if that can give you any idea what to expect from this 2015 edition.
The modern day RX will see you through harsh weather on your daily commute and deep mud on a cyclocross course.
We can't testify as to the ease of which a motor could be installed into the seat tube, but I guess that's something you can explore for yourselves.
Hargroves Cycles
We jested earlier that you'd need tools to install a hidden motor into your bike.

Finally, socks.
You can never have too many socks. Ever. If you were denied the pleasure of opening a pair for Christmas, now's the chance to treat yourself.
These are top quality Castelli socks. Merino wool - with fabulous moisture wicking abilities, comfort in temperatures between 0-12 degrees, and a 12cm cuff for extra protection from the elements for your feet.
My better half seems to like giving me pressies of Rapha clothing. I am wearing their casual hoodie right now, and very nice it is too. First off...
Push on through foot numbness and you then arrive at agonising foot cramp....
Not enough awareness as a driver to notice those 30mph limit roundels.
Oh dear, to your own lack of understanding. I was not referring to your vague generalisation of "people", I was referring to a particular...
Also check if you have a SLamb chop or a Camporknolo one - they're not interchangeable.
Easy one that: it wasn't "so much traffic" before the cyclist was there! That queue had been building up behind the cyclist since the lane was...
"It’s very expensive, I suspect, and I think it’s too much.”...
Looks like he's risking riding without inserts. Didn't Fred Wright come a cropper in the Arenburg for the same reason?
Nice one, with the clocks change you've done the hard part. I think I done 5 years in a row of imperial centuries a month with the odd 200k thrown...
I had a Commer, the steering was by committee, the roadholding by Frankenstein and the economy by Shell. Utterly dreadful heap of junk, period.
