2006 Giant TCX Build
 

This is my new cross ride. Its replaced an aging and heavy Soul Monk.
Its sold as Frame/Fork only, so the build took a little while to assemble.

Frame - TCX (Medium)
Fork - Carbon
Wheelset - Bontrager Race Lite (stolen from my Lemond Victoire)
Tires- cheap Conti Steel bead.
tubes- cheap and black.
Cassette- 12-25 Ultegra
Seat - WTB Titanium (comfy and reasonably lite, will likely be upgraded)
Post- Bontrager Race X Lite (again off of Lemond)
Stem - Bontrager Race xxx lite (from Klein Palomino XXX) 105mm
Bar - Bontrager Race Lite 46cm (had a Salsa Bell Lap 46 flaring to 52...the pure 46 seems narrow by comparison)
Headset - Giant Integrated
Spacers - Bontrager Carbon
Shifter/brakes - 105 black
front D - 105 braze on bottom pull (upgrading to a clamp top pull ultegra or da soon)..the pulley system looks like a nightmare.
Rear - Ultegra long cage (i occassionally run a 12-34 MTB cassette for really hilly races/rides)
Cranks - Profile Design Carbon 175mm 135bcd
Chainrings - Stronglight 39/ Stronglight 51 (will be running single chainring config for races)
Chain - Sram (to be able to take it apart easily...and frequently
Brakes - Shimano BR 550's. Seem fine so far.
Cables- Bontrager cable set, nice stuff. first time i've used it.
Tape - Silva Carbon.
Pedals - Eggbeater Stainless steel

currently it's doing road duty but i'll put michelin Jets on it for cross.

thanks for looking.
Here's a phew photos.

Only one ride so far, carbon fork provides a smoother ride, bike is much more responsive to rider effort than the old Soul was. Decrease in weight is perceptable.

cheers.

Actually I fear the carbon lower arm of a Record rear derailleur is to fulnerable for cross so I use a Chorus one.

My Felt f1x cyclocross
 

My first road/? bike. put the Seca slicks on for speed in the city. swapped the horrible, taint-torturing stock saddle for a comfy Specialized BG. the Arkel Tailrider is in the mail.must get the pack off of the back as it gets hotter here in phoenix. now which kind of rack? it has eyelets.

wow, post confusion. It's a 57cm 2006 Felt F1x cyclocross and i suck at uploading photos.

Man, that Kelly looks HOT! It even radiates some kind of orange glow....

or perhaps I am just partial coz I have a Kelly too? ;-)

it radiates somethin, but I am partial because it is mine and my last name is Kelley...

Apologies to the purists (for now, when fall comes it'll be pure). Here's my shiny new kona jake the snake, '05 frame that I bought and built up myself (with a generous amount of help from a good friend). It pretty much kicks ass all over town and is even fun on the road.

I'm gonna get rid of these dumb bar ends though when I start working after this semester ends and get some STI levers.

A few months ago I sent Doug Curtiss (Curtlo Cycles) a deposit and then waited. After we spoke about what I wanted he got to work and I eventually got a tag from the post office saying there was a parcel waiting for me.

I built up the bike with Ritchey WCS stem, bars and seat post. Shimano Cantilever brakes, Regal Saddle, Centaur 10 compact crank, Front and rear ders, Shifters. American Classic 10 speed cassette. Shimano Ultegra hubs laced 3x to Mavic MA3 rims which I had in the garage ( still in the wrappers). In the pictures I have Michelin tires mounted, they have since been removed and replaced with Vredestein Campo Cross. I love the Campo Cross tire, and so it stand to reason that Vredestein would dis-continue it, I have no idea why they have done that.

The frame and fork ( a custom steel fork built by Doug) are True Temper OX Platinum, a nice light steel frameset.

The bike rides like a dream.

Ok! Here's mine!

Nice!!!!!!

What tires are on that Kelly??

I know the question wasn't for me, but I have the same 280gram 700x31
Panaracer Cross Blaster tires on one of my wheel sets.

BTW. Nice cross bike you got there! I dig the color scheme

Thank you.

I really like the Vredestein Campo Cross which will run at both low pressure and high pressure, came in 28 and 32.

It seems that they have stopped making it and the repalcement, the Premiato is rated for max pressure of 60 pounds.

I am on the hunt for a new all purpose cross tire in the 28/30 size that will take higher pressure (90 to 95 pds).

Not easy to find so looking for info.

I cannot understand why they dq'd the Campo Cross.

The Ritchey Speedmax pro's are avilable in 28, 30, and 32mm, and can be inflated to 90lbs.

correct...

Blueeeee
 

Here's my Waterford X-11 I picked up off Craigslist a few months ago. Came with full Dura Ace 9, Paul's Neo Retro, Open Pro/Ultegra wheels/Ritchey WCS CX tires. I replaced the Paul's with Tektros because there was never enough clearance on this bike to install them correctly so they deliver full braking power. Tektros work perfectly even though they don't do the bike justice! I use it for commuting and & have an extra set of wheels (both pics below) for riding road with my wife. Came with lots of blue as you can see and is growing on me so I decided to keep the theme with the blue road tires.

Just 'coz there aren't enough Voodoos here.
2000 Limba, Kinesis USA built Scandium with Wound-Up carbon fork and Shimano bar end shifters because I'm tired of replacing expensive STI stuff. Michelin mudders on Ultegra/MA3s for the dirt and Michelin Hi-Lite Prestige tires on Spinergy wheels for road riding.

Salsa Las Cruces
 

I'm glad I just built this up, becuase my carbon LOOK bike was stolen yesterday!

Dura-ace shifters, Ultegra front and rear, Elita cranks, burly commuting wheels/tires, and a buttload of headset spacers. I rode it into work this morning and loved it. It's so nice not having to worry about every pothole or crack in the road.

New Cyclocross Bike
 

Here are some pictures of my new Lemond Poprad...... Triffid

Ah yes... I remember the blue machine well. It has seen some truly epic action. Racing again this year, Andre?

Of course! I am already looking forward to the season!
Back from NJ or heading back down soon?
