Bike Forums - Addiction I

So now all I need for the cross build are:

Derailleurs
Brakes
Pedals
Crank
Frame (which includes seatpost, fork, and headset.)
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.

I like surprises though.

That's what makes this thread such a treat.

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.
