Hey all,
I am in the midst of a cross build for the coming season. I have just about everything.
Or should I say I had. I was using a moderately bent C'Dale MTB frame which I had straightened out. Sadly after much trying here and there I have decided to scrap the idea, the rear triangle was a B$^%& to pull out and is still only at about 120 mm spacing, as well upon receiving my shiny new Bontrager Race GXP Cross Cranks I found I don't have the clearance to run them. Oh great:rolleyes:.
Anyways so now I have everything I want for my build save the frame. So far I've sunk about $700 dollars into the bike a would like to have to sink a minimal amount less into this build. What ideas do you all have for a good cross frame for relatively cheap (Read Less Than $300). I found a Fetish Cycles Ankh on Ebay that is my size, looks identical in every aspect to their new Position frame. http://www.fetishcycles.com/road/position/indexk.html
Anyone have opinions on Fetish frame or other readily available starter cross frames? I'm not looking to go Salsa or anything just yet as I'm just starting out. The frame has to be disc ready but does not need to have a fork. Maybe later I'll post what I've gotten together so far for the build.
Later!
