Bailey Miniluv cross bike

Hello,
Looking for some info about this bike. Thinking of a new ride for the season.

I have read the review in CX magazine but would love to hear some real world info.

Seems like a sweet ride but since I have never seen one, pics and weights would be nice too

TIA

I know them

(the original 2 founders) don't know the new partner
both guys are serious cross racers and decided to start a company that originally was going to focus solely on cross
they are great guys, they work(ed) very hard on their frame designs, focusing on race steeds only. Those miniluvs are great race bikes fora great value

Everybody seems to love the Miniluv. Doesn't seem to be much praise for the O'Brien, which is 100 bucks cheaper and has water bottle mounts which makes it much more versatile, IMHO.

They were blowing these out on their Website a couple months ago. CX Magazine reviewed this bike a few issues back. I can't find it online, but I remember it being a positive review and specifically shorter racers would be "bummed".
