Here's my recently built up 62cm Cross Check. I like it, but the bike is much smaller than I thought before I built it. Seems more like a 60cm. I like to ride in a traditional posture--bars parallel to the saddle. As i have it set up, it has bit too much of a drop for my taste. I'm hoping to avoid a steep rising stem. I'm thinking of ordering a LHT fork, which is 1 inch longer than the CC. That might give me what I need, or at least get me closer. Otherwise the bike's as advertised--solid, smooth, light enough.
