Check out my new bike...
Even though I don't post much here...I've gained so much knowledge from you guys and I just wanted to share some pics of my new bike:
I tried to go for the all black look.
-Crosscheck frame (60cm)
-105 9 speed group (black)
-Cane Creek brakes
-Ritchey comp stem
-salsa bell lap bar
-Brooks B17 champion special
-Mavic Open Pro's (black, 32 spokes), black spokes, black 105 hubs
what do you guys think?

That bike is absolutely gorgeous! What a great bike!
I am so glad you posted it because I was looking to get a cross check and was thinking about the color. Thats one of the few I have seen in the color black.

Needs more T.R parts.....maybe a T.R SwissCross frame...
Kidding, they are pink and f'ugly.
Nice bike. And I liked the S.C.C bike I saw in town yesterday, looked solid.
