anything flowy.. Bike Setup:
Dura Ace 1x10 with Salsa guard and jump stop, Easton wheels, Vredestein Rubber, and my beloved crank Bros. pedals. Thomson where it counts and Easton where it's light.. Summary:
The bike is light, fast, and sexy. Seeing that there will be no more road racing and that this bike weighs the same as my full carbon road bike it will now become the only non-mountain bike in the stable. The yoke style seatstays make the bike absurdly stiff and nimble in the woods and snappy but predictable on the road. If you can afford it, do it. Love your bike and ride the crap out of it. This is the do everything well and fast cross bike. Strengths:
Snappy, nimble , versatile, light(did I mention sub-seventeen?) It is so clean...ie, no fender mounts, rack mounts, and other crap you do not need on a cross course. Bottle cages and a clips-on fenders are more than enough trim for me even on foul weather commutes. Oh, and its light!!! Weaknesses:
Price, but that's goes without saying. Cheap bikes are compromises and I am sick of that crap. Similar Products Used:
