One trick Surly!
Just thought I'd post a pic of my "slightly modified" Crosscheck. I'll post some more in a day or two.
Enjoy. http://img208.exs.cx/img208/4773/dsc006449kw.th.jpg |
May I be the first to express my envy...
(secretly wishing that a parcel with a crank awaits me at home) |
|
Man, that just flat out rocks. SS or fixed?
|
I built up a set of Paul SS disc hubs for it. It's set up with an 18t freewheel.
|
Nice. Very trick in the stealth look dept.
|
That is hot. I drool for that machine.
Nice word-play as well. This pretty much proves the CrossCheck is the most versitle and reinterpreted bike out there. |
Wow... very nicely done.
|
WOW, that bike rocks.....any Idea on the total cost to build up that machine. I am looking to do a single speed, and that looks like a worthy role model
|
Cool man, give it some gears and Id be tempted to steal it!
just kidding. my bike was stolen a few years ago, and of course Id never steal anyones bike regardless. nice parts.. thomson.. winwood.. diggin the disk brakes/fenders combo. steel frame/carbon fork.. to hell with fads and trends, its all about what works. I love my black steelie.. ~Steve I was just on tshirthell.com (or whatever) surf it a bit and my initial comment may make more sense : ) |
Yea, F the fads!
Thanks for all the comments from everyone. I'm really proud of this rig. I just ordered a carbon 31.8 bar and Thomson 31.8 stem today so I'll repost the updated pic's and specs in a few weeks. S |
I have to get one of those!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll try and get up some new pics after the frame get's refinished. |
Did you ride that bad boy with the SKS fenders yet? I have the same setup (54cm crosscheck, 170 cranks, size 11 foot) and clip the front fender when I turn! I hope you have a small foot, because your fender looks close too. I am thinking about cutting off the bottom of the fender and removing the lower brace. Let me know how you make out.

The fenders are off for 6 months usually anyway. Just as an idea, I've cut those fenders off below the top fender stay and added a small downtube fender and had good luck with that, just looks goofy... |
Small foot and a great bike, you are truly blessed. :D

I didnt know that you could get a Crosscheck with disc brake mounts. This is the first Ive seen. Was it a special order type of deal?

Here's a pic of the mount in the rough. http://img134.exs.cx/img134/5648/dsc005516nl.th.jpg |
