People are crazy... You might want new rings for the crank too, cause CX gears and such.

And for me, SO close to being hot. Longer stem + slammed would be nice, but not everyone can do that. So at least cut the stack above the stem.

By the way, how do you post pics so they are bigger in your posts, I can't seem to get it to work even though I can in other forums.

I think it's great when people actually do it then post, as opposed to posting threads about it for months before we see anything.

He was looking for suggestions in the first place. After a collection of thoughts, he went and upgraded the parts he wanted to. I doubt it was because of peer pressure within the Hot R not, but it may have influenced his purchase. Regardless, nice upgrades.

Not exactly, I want a cyclocross bike too and figured all the old parts from this one will mean I just need to find a decent frame so it works out. But yeah :)

The old track, hand built korean frame with nagasawa lugs and hodgepodge build.

The old road rig. Mostly Italian, minus the fork/ cages/ wheels. Not staged properly :rolleyes:

Made the leap to carbon, maybe I'll post it here if it looks good when I'm finished.
