How stiff is it? It looks like it definitely can jump off the line or a straightaway!

I'm going to do a couple races SS. Since, you know, cross is too easy with gears;). Cross-post SS/FG.

Here's mine. It was a little project that kind of got outta control.

Surly Crosscheck
rebrazed triple guides
Cane Creek Left Brake
Campy Mirage 9 Right
Shimano Rear Derailleur (didn't even need a jtek to get this to work!!)
Shimano m520 pedals
Tektro cr720/oryx Salmon Mtn Pads
Ultegra Compact front (gonna replace with a 39t and bbg guard)
Stock bars, stem, wheelset, 12/25 cassette

Probably gonna paint it orange and get some blue tape.

That thing looks cool with the box.

This frame was purchased off CL as a hybrid and was my first fg conversion. I have since progressed through a few more fixies and had turned this into the wife's roadster.
Anyway, it was repurposed for its first race last week as a SSCX.

It will be a before and after of sorts this week, soon as I get my new sscx frame.

Love this bike- it has character. If you paint it, please paint the fork as well. How close to perfect is the fit of those Hudz on the Cane Creek brake lever?

Thanks! I used a razor blade and cut down the sides slightly. Here are some pics for comparison. I apologize ahead of time as I know this isn't the thread for this...

Nothing compared to most of your guys' bikes, but at least it was cheap.

I was skeptical about the flat bars, but after riding it on some MTB trails I'm glad I kept them. 8x1 XTR/XT drivetrain. Ready to find some CX races :)

scandalumm makes me think it's a major jake, but it's ooooolllld. it has a big 2002 era 'kona' emblem on the dt that i wrapped with an old tube.

anyone know more info on this frame?

it rides SO NICE. it's maybe a CM or 2 too big for me.

I see your post was about a year ago. If you don't mind me asking, how do you like the Surly?

Had this for a few weeks now. Want to replace all the Tiagra crap by the end of the year.

I like this! I´m planning something similar with 1x8 + flatbars aswell with stuff I have on the shelf.

In training wheels.

Sounds sweet, post it when you're finished. I'm having a blast on my ghetto cross bike!

Here's my 2007 TriCross Comp, set up for road duty. It's got just shy of 6,000 miles on it.

Cell phone pics are all I have.

I had a few but that hobby was very short lived.

Here's a pic of mine. I just finished getting it together a few days ago. I bought a Kona Jake the Snake frame and transferred over my 2000 Lemond Zurich components to it. It has Ultegra shifters and front derailleur, rear DA derailleur, Paul's Neo Retro brakes, Mavic Open Pro wheels (with ceramic braking surface), Ultegra hubs and Maxxis Locusts tires. I had switched out the gearing on the Lemond to a 50/34 crankset and a 12-27 cassette previously, so this is the gearing on the new JTS. I'm new to cyclocross, but not new to cycling. I also have a 2009 Cervelo RS road bike and a Giant Rainier beater MTB.

Here is mine. Its a conversion of an old hybrid. I raced on it once with downtube shifters. They weren't too bad, but I did finish 2nd to last.
