the pre season is almost over-post a picture of your cross rig

[dang]

That's a fairly unique Serotta crosser. What model and year?

I don't know if it's any particular model. It was built for a serotta employee who seemed never to build it up. I picked it up as a used (but unused) frameset -- came with the fork pictured, with the lugged crown, as well as another steel fork painted to match, but without the lugs or threaded steer tube. I think that it sat around for 5 or 6 years, in a box, until I bought it and built it up. Reynolds 853 pipes, according to the sticker.

It might be slightly long and slightly tall for me for cross racing, although I raced it a few times last year and it worked out fine.

After a way too long delay I finally got the cross bike up and running. Out-of-town stuff, work, sickness and my kid starting pre-school (transitions are a nightmare with 3-year olds) took their toll but I got it out for a first romp last Sunday. What was intended as a quick loop through Golden Gate Park to get the shifting dialed quickly turned into a 3-hour threshold slug-fest in the Headlands. After about 30 seconds on the bike it was apparant that I wasn't going home any time soon. I don't think I've had that much fun on a bike since I did my first wheelie when I was about 7.

Holy Crap Sasha can build a frame....and yes, the electrical tape is temporary... :)

I kinda giggled when I saw the tape under the cables. That bike is the shit.

Imho...better than 07. I really like that frog decal. I thought Canecreek wheels were no more? What kinda white rubber is that?

[Dave]

Fancy new stoppers you got there boss?

[CXinNH]

- lots of carbon.
Thanks for testing it in cross :-)

I thought you were going 09 rival for CX?

[Too Tall]

VSalon-worthy. SRAM looks right and the graphics do not detract. Super nice RS, it's great to see the leap in full cry.

- lots of carbon...

huh? are the oval bits carbon?

[zank]

Those white-tread Griffo XS's are some Euro-pimp ass shit.

tell us more. inquiring minds want to know.

[zank]

It's only available in the Griffo XS (semi-slick). White tread with black sidewalls. Break 'em out for the buffed and clean days. And put some gel in your hair. Hot.

e-RICHIE, is that a carbon Parlee braze-on front mech adapter?

Now that Problem Solvers isn't making 28.6 adapters choices are becoming very limited...

[Shinomaster]

Is that a carbon post? Does Oval make an alloy one? I might like that on my zankaroni.

[Jason Musgrave]

post and stem both look carbon from here.

Yes Oval makes an alloy one-have your lbs order QBP pn ST7103

Well...my cross bike may not really be worthy of the forum but it's a fun bike and I threw it together for less than $500. The bar-end shifter may have to go if I actually do any racing this fall but I should be able to grub something up for cheap :-)

Bestill my heart- Vertical drop outs! My world is spinning.

I have been warned that breaking a spoke may bring "Jodie Foster" time... but I can't help but to give em a whirl on the stage.... er, local cyclo(beer)crossing series. BTW, I have a Centaur 10 speed compact crank that I just haven't convinced myself to put on yet. I am no podium chaser and the triple has such unbeatable range....

[Der_kruscher]

Oops - posted without the pic! If this doesn't work I'm giving up...

here's mine

Twowheels, are those the Tufo Flexus tires? If so, how do you like them. I just ordered a set, but had a hard time deciding between those and the low pressure whatevers.
