Thats a lovely looking machine but I can`t belive how many spacers you have under that stem!!!

Nice. I'm a fan of the classic looks on Nashbar bikes.

This is the "23"/CXer's not the "41"/Road.
;)

Haha thanks, I do absolutely understand what you mean. I picked up the frame a size smaller then I wanted but it was too good of a deal to pass up.

Which is way I refrained to ask the size of that frame...
;) :lol:

Well....Just incase you ever think you might want to know its a 54cm but fits a lil more like a 55/56. Oh its only 18.13 lbs with out pedals and the 3 bottle cages on it.

My first cross bike...

White hoods on a CXer? Hope they clean up nice & easy. ;)

Took delivery of a leftover '13 Bianchi Zurigo for extended off-season training so I can have an even better '14 on my track/race bike. :-)

Nice.
What size is the frame, did you get it fitted?
Looks a bit big for you the be honest.

Possibly may be a size too big. But the LBS did a basic fit on the floor and with the trainer for standover and seat height. I'm about 6'0" @ 165 lbs, so pretty slender with "Scottie Pippen arms". Did a couple of 20 min test street rides before taking delivery and did a 40 min ride yesterday of a mix of pavement and gravel. :-) He told me to come back in a couple hundred miles or so or 30 days for the tune up and to make adjustments /suggestions for fit as needed.

I'm brand new to cycling, and being on the Duc for a couple of seasons has already gotten me used to being on a torture rack, lol. But honestly so far I have no complaints with fit or comfort. We'll see once I start getting some miles under my belt on it. But for now the arms feel relaxed, starting to get used to the clipless pedal routine, feel in control coming up to/waiting at stop signs (unclip one foot upon approach and stand over the top tube until I get going again).

Its all good. It just seems your seat post is a bit low.
I tend to go up a size with my CXers too, only my race rigs are the proper size. I like to train/commuter on larger bikes so I avoid toe overlap.

"Oooooh yeaaaaah!

"Wooooooh!"

Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Bueller, anyone.....?

Here's mine, a 1996 Bianchi Reparto Corse. Made in Italy, Dedecciai Zero Uno tubing. I bought it used and ran it as a commuter / road bike for years, but I'm doing my first 'cross race tomorrow and I just finished getting it set up to race this morning.

Could be my last outdoor ride before the snow flies ...

I saw you and your bike today but I was either almost puking after my race or drinking bourbon and didn't get to say hello. Did you have fun?
