My first CX build.........in 2010

[scary_perry]

too busy riding to post pictures would be my guess.

Oh, I've been riding OK, hehe....

Vacation kinda came in the way and still haven't found the time to paint the stem and post...Only thing missing.


Rides like a dream with the charming elements of brakechatter and lack of brake power in general.
I ditched the frogglegs and went for some Tektro 720s...An underrated brake.
Changed the 71mm pads to std. 55mm magnesium shoes with a much better mechanical
coupling to the cantie. Increases the pressure/area, looks better, preforms better -> everything s better

I'll might go for a more narrow cable hanger as well and open up the angle a bit more toward the canties.
That will decrease the mud clearance, but increase the power. Shouldn't be any problem up front

Anyways.....Here's a poor phonecam shot to ease the wait

Thank You guys & gils



The weight is BTW 8.08kg with no-nonsense wheels & steel cassette. And yes..It's a 46T DA outer chainring


Oh.....And did I say I recently sold one of my Ti roadbikes and pulled the plug on a Ti 29er

I just took possession of the Specialized fork-crown-mounted cable hanger:


Will be installing it this week on a carbon fork that has given me chatter problem in the past. I'm curious to see how it works braking-wise, but I can recommend it insofar as it's nicely made and comes with different hardware to make it work on different forks.

[Barrettscv]

[vitiate]

Awesome bike, love the green!

What bar tape is that? I need some.

EDIT: beautiful bike.

Still had some decals left I see?

Interesting color combo with the red. Not sure if I like it, I think I should have to see a finished product

I dig the red accents. It makes me think of a tree frog. Lectron, you should get some of the sram frog stickers on it.
