The EC90X is supposedly a fantastic fork, and a pretty remarkable part on a bike of that price point. I've been looking for a white aftermarket EC90X myself, but it appears Raleigh owners hold on to theirs.

My Czech-Japanese-French-Italian and who knows what else co-production.
Build from leftovers and spare parts.
Picture shows an early version.
I changed the brakes (Pedersen Canti,now Campa mini-V) after some quite exciting descents.
The frame is a czech Fort alloy,rather heavy but quite reliable.
Shimano 9spd mixture (105 shifters,DA front derailleur,Ultegra rear derailleur)
Sram 9speed cassette 12-25
1" Montano carbon fork with alloy shaft
Ritchey cockpit, Roox seatpost
Wolber rims,DA hubs

Mine(Thanks Fort! and my LBS!):
Photo taken prior to chain adjustment, etc.
Stunk it up at Charm City last weekend.
Must do better to do justice to the bike.

Here's mine. I don't race anymore. My racing days are behind me, but for me a cross bike is the perfect everything machine. I will probably never buy a roadbike again. Only cross machines for me. Stock except for the seat, pedals and wheels and stem and chainrings. Don't be jealous. Drooling allowed.

Nice looking Voodoo Velo-Love! Are those BB7? Do my eyes deceive me or are you running that thing single speed or maybe even fixie?

Thanks Scott,
Yes those are the Avid BB-7 Calipers and i am running it as a single speed rig.
Yeah, i know, disc brakes on a SS is pretty much OTT, but I really wanted disc brakes, plus I was also settled on having a Single Speed rig. So, from that, I ended up with this rig.
Also to add, I am enjoying the stopping power of these brakes.. plus additional weight was only a pound plus change!

No problem Velo. I am looking at getting a cross bike as a road and multi-use training bike instead of riding one of my mountain bikes. I really like the way you have that setup but would not go with a single speed. I hope you enjoy the heck out of it.

Zaskar: cross bikes are great for that sort of thing. If you don't want one for racing only there are lots of options out there with braze-ons / eyelets for racks/fenders/etc, so they make great all-weather training, light touring and commuting bikes.

here's my do-it-all:
Salsa La Cruz 2008
Surly SS 48t single chainring (the wonky chainline isn't really an issue for my riding—low abuse, no racing)
Ultegra 9-speed brifters
Deore XT SGS RD with Sram 11-34 cassette
i adjusted the fender line after this picture by adding a cork spacer to the lower rear stay attachment; i still think i'll go with some nice VO fenders i the future. i bent the SKS fender stays to accommodate the disc brakes, but the VO fenders would obviate this hack. i also added a good-enough-for-commuting Axiom rack—works great. this bike is is easily the most fun lovin' bike i've ever had.

I just put on some new sweet 34c tires, rewrapped the handlebars, packed some grease in the pawls, cleaned the chain and cassette -- I'm going to go get it dirty tomorrow. WOOHOO!!!
