I had been lusting for a cyclocross bike for a while, and finally pulled the trigger. I considered many, checked Ebay, Craigslist, etc... but finally found a
2010 Kona Jake for a very good price, shipped from
Portland Oregon to Columbus, Ohio. I couldn't find one locally in my size, and the 2011 Jake has a paint scheme that I do not like, as well as chainstays that are 1 cm shorter (425 vs 435 on mine).
It shipped out yesterday FedEx. I'm pretty excited. Should be here Thursday or so. I also ordered a pair of Vittoria Randonneur Pros yesterday in 35 from a different place. I need a light rack that is long enough to prevent heel strike. I'm considering
this one. I can't find dimensions, but it looks kind of long. Also need to figure out which fenders work best.
I figure this will be my bike for fun rides and sometimes commuting. I'll keep the Felt as my workhorse. My 7.3 FX is now for sale.
