Price Paid:
$1300.00
at Ebay Model Year:
2007 Favorite Ride:
Kiss Cross series in GR Bike Setup:
Stock, except Salsa bell lap bars, carbon seatpost, ITM Lite Luxe stem.
Swapped the 10 sp 105 with 9 sp Ultegra from an older road bike. 12x27 to tame the steep stuff. Summary:
Great riding bike, excellent frame & fork + right mix of components for the $.
Only downside...now my road bike is collecting dust while I explore all the dirt roads and fire trails I've ridden past for the last decade. Strengths:
Carbon stays smooth out the ride
Tracks like its on rails
Weaknesses:
-Requires patience to eliminate shuddering from front brakes...not an uncommon problems on cross bikes?
-Would prefer top mounted cables
-Had to get the bottom bracket faced to eliminate drag. LBS mechanics thought I was nuts, but it really smoothed it out. Thanks, Zinn. Similar Products Used:
First true cross bike...time to retire my 1990 Scott mtb
