Chili Con Crosso Owners
How do you like it? I'm considering picking one up now that I've found out that I cannot get an Ellsworth Roots. I'm really into the idea of a sub 3lb frame and the alpha q fork. How is it for longer rides? I don't have the oppritunity to ride it before I buy it from my LBS so I'm looking for any reviews I can from you guys. Also, any other recommendations on similar frames? This will be my first CX bike and I'm pretty excited about riding and racing this year.

I have the Las Cruces, which is basically the Chile with disc brake tabs... I really like it, but don't for get it's a FULL scandnium bike and can be a bit tiring on a long road ride. Very stiff bike however and mine with normal canti brakes and cheap components (tiagra/105) comes in around 21#.
