Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

I'll bet it is, especially considering the fact that my white garage door is not, in fact, white.

A budget cross.....The outer chainring is waiting to be swapped with a chainguard.
Weight as pictured is 17 lbs sharp







I might sell it, that's the only reason that sadddle is there. Not very budget and not very useful lol

It's surely a cool bike. I'm waiting for my kinesis maxlight mtb frame to get here. What're the hubs?

I suppose $1500 is a budget bike when you're not a loser with no money like me.

I don't have a car...not even a licence to drive

It's a matter of priority (for most).

And not having 'financial headroom' doesn't make one a looser!!
Or maybe in the free world of greed and capitalism

The hubs are in fact Tune...made a good deal there.
I'm building up a set with 7800 (~$50 for a rear )
Way better and not that much weight penalty.

I'm constantly looking out for a good deal, and that's
how this was possible for $1500

It's dry out here, I'd have to try really hard to get that muddy look.

Shapelike, what kind of tires are on that sexy orange monster of yours? They look familiar, but I can't place them. Awesome build, by the way. It makes me lust for something similar.
