Wanted: 58cm TT or 'Cross Bike

[Snuffleupagus]

I want (read: need :D) a 58cm time trial and a cyclocross bike.

Bare frames may be of interest as well.

Noah-

If you're looking for a great deal on a beginner CX bike, look at the Motobecane Fantom Cross. It's what I used last year to win the Winter Cup CX series. It's performed very well for me- no complaints at all. I'll be racing the wee out of of it again starting in October-ish.

They have two versions; mine is the less expensive one ($795 shipped for the whole dang thing!).

The more expensive one has pretty much all Ultegra, but I think that's something of a waste on a 'cross bike- Tiagra and 105 seem to hold up better in the mud.

If you're interested in it, I'm sure we could arrange for you to take a quick spin on mine to try it out.

Thanks! I've been looking at the Motos, and have been about a mouse click away from buying the regular Fantom Cross.

I appreciate the offer of the ride, I'll shoot you an email/pm :)

Sweet. IMNSHO, the Fantom Cross is far and away the best deal on a 'cross bike anywhere. Let's figure out a time for you to try it out.
