Sorry for the cross post (no pun intended) from the cyclocross forum, but there's more traffic over here, and I know how popular CX bikes are for commuting.
I was just looking over the Bikes Direct site, and I noticed they have a new bike up.
The Windsor Cyclo.
105 shifters, 105 FD and Ultegra rear derailer for the same price as the Fantom Cross? They have to be cutting costs somewhere. So what is it? Cheaper frame? Cheaper wheel sets? How are they selling a bike with more a more expensive drivetrain for the same price? Not that I'm complaining.
That matte black looks awesome. The matte carbon fork is a really nice touch. All I need is a little disposable income .
