I didn't know we were going there, I like surprises though.

Brakes

Bar tape
Cables

Have:
Bars
Stem
Shifters (7700)
SRAM GXP ceramic BB
Ultegra 9s cassette
SRAM pg-951 chain
michelin mud 2 tires
CXP 22 rims laced to formula hubs
Specialized Toupe
Bell

This build will be awesome.

Who wants to make donations to the Mzeffex cyclocross racing fund?! :D

Looking forward to this build. Unknown to my wife, I have plans to add two more bikes to the four I already have and a Cross bike is one of the two missing bikes!

Mzeffex, you should have gotten a cross bike from BD. Dirt cheap and they have some nice builds available.

Hey Pcad and/or mzeffex, how do you like your toupe saddle? I need a new saddle and just picked up a used toupe 130 from a forum member.

I probably like them because I have 3 of them.

That's what makes this thread such a treat.

That's about as tornadic as it gets! Were there tornado alerts?

patentcad 07-30-10 08:44 PM

That looks like a twister kid.

I started running and can bang out 9 min miles for up to 4 miles or have been known to do 7:30 miles for 2 if I am perky...

Jumping rope kills me in less than 5 min :( I think because I keep going faster and can't stop.

No cavities in almost 34 years, for me... yeah, that's how old I am. The dentists can't explain it, and neither can I.

Meh. Not the worst or the best. I don't use it any more as of a week ago, but a bontrager on there that I do like.

Na, I want a Crux, and I want to build it from scratch.

The Cubs are losing 17-2 to the Rockies. The Rockies have batted around twice this inning. Eff me.

Or not. I'm going to Games 2 and 3.

21 and i have never had a cavity. But i don't eat sweets.

I dig me some sweet treats, but I've never liked hard candies. Chocolates, cakes, pies? Oh hell yeah. Jolly ranchers, Jaw Breakers and candy corn? Eff that noise.

So, my dad is retired. His daily schedule:

Breakfast
Round of Golf
Lunch
Bike ride
Early Bird special for dinner

Unless he's traveling the world, then he drops the bike ride.

Man pCad, you really are stirring up some crap on BF lately.

Tulex 07-30-10 10:13 PM

So, looking at my toupe, it's at least a half inch lower than my avatar. I gotta raise my saddle.
