Nice ride!
Um, no suspension eh?
So, I still don't understand why in the world cross bikes are still using cantilever brakes!
I think you're gonna need some large-volume tires for the gravel race, how big a tire can you fit in there? :P

Nice Eric. I bet it looks purdy sitting next to the Vassago. Although you should have color coordinated with your K-State jersey instead. :lol:

I hope a 38 will fit. BTW these brakes a solid, although they make a little niose they have some serious stopping power.

You should see my rack, three purty white bikes. The bike didn't come in purple I looked.

Sweet ride. Very.

It was when nice moving to disc brakes and not having to deal with tilting the brake pads anymore to keep the piggy squeals at bay. :)

Enjoy the new addition!

Took the bike out for the first real ride today. It was AWESOME!!!! I road out to Otay Lakes form my place, what a blast. Otay was kind of fun for once. It made a trail that on most occasions bores me to death into a remarkably fun ride. It was wired with those skinny ass tires but I don't think I have ever gone that fast on that trail before. Can’t wait to take it out again…..

I know you were nailing it in your day glo, skinny tires and cantilever brakes.
I caught you on vid on a couple runs...
