It is the Midnight Special and I feel the same. I may just build one, one day so I ticked the disc brake box..

Also a road geometry with space for a 27,5x2.35 is awesome

Complete that with an incredibly long seatpost and you have discovered the tallest breed of bike

TRP disc brakes are wonderful things

For about 550 quid I could potentially realise making the Fat Check, where I get Marino bikes to make a replica geometry wise of the Cross Check but with room for 3.0s and both rim brake studs and disc support, with a slight adjustment to the head tube angle to give more clearance and lessen toe overlap, alongside a heavily raked fork.

I've had 3 bikes with disc brakes, not for me. Shimano 105 hydraulic on a Crux, powerful, very noisy and reluctant to clear of mud, so much so I used to ride through puddles, Jo hated the awful noise they made. Not what you want on a crosser. Avid BB5 just sh*t, v brakes are better. Avid hydraulic ok.
