are you kidding? juvikyle is immune to that ****. his image doesn't even appear in photoshop, like a vampire in a mirror.

+1

That Kelly is absolutely gorgeous.

I can't really see from the pictures but is there no brake bridge on the kelly? Does that mean no fenders (well this probably doesn't matter to you! living in LA and what not).

p.s. DAMN! all matching black paul stuff, schweet! Now you just gotta get the crankset.

juvi- nice ride. dig the brakes.
did'nt you have a fsa gossamer crankset on there? why the switch?

gossamer was 130, just cutting it a little close, so I got the FSA energy compact. i also am a weight weenie.

my back is my fender, but since I moved from Chicago I really havent seen much rain.

This has made bf before, but here's my crosscheck again... (60cm frame with 700x43s)

juvi-kyle: gestalt. wonderful photography, too.
i wish paul made double sided fixed hubs. how've you geared the thing?

summerinside: tough lookin' crosscheck.

I posted this in the CX area already, but I wanted to join the fun.

Anyway here's the spec list in all its 21lbs 6oz glory:
On-one | Il Pompino
Front wheel - Velocity Fusion 3x laced to a Formula track hub
Rear wheel - Marcus' pre built Mavic MA3 rim laced to a Surly flip flop hub

Paul Neo Retro/Touring brakes
3T handlebars
Soma CX levers
Tektro brake levers
ACS 18t freewheel

my first cross race ever on an ss cross check

MMMMMM

Juvi-Kyle, that Kelly is Niiiiiicccee!!

thanks crust, I have it geared for the road(fixed) 38:16 and I have 17 and 19 tooth freewheels for off-road use.

edit: thanks everyone, I love the bike and can not wait to start racing

Kyle - that Kelley is rad. I'd trade you my Colnago for that ride.

heres another SS cross check race pic. i totally schooled this guy on the downhill. being a SS MTBr racing cross is fun, bc roadies are extremely scared of going fast on anything but pavement.

Both of those are awesomely gorgeous. I love how old roadies can get reborn as utilitarian beasts.

never, I am done with track bikes

Glad you're not swayed! An xc bike has long been on my list. The Kelley and ink's ride inspire me to do so.

sweet, we've been needing more of this arround here.

check out my new bridgestone here, https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...03#post2332203

can we make something to put in our signitures showing our homage to this thread? its hard being like us in the current state of this board.

i tell ya, i had more fun riding offroad on my crosscheck than i have on my track bike in ages.

**** I have not even been able to take mine off-road yet, but doing wheelies down the street, goin where ever the **** a i want, fountain hopping, fountain crashing, ripping down stairs, all around urban-cyclocross has proven to be way more fun than doing backwards circles, funny skids, and dumb trackstands anyday.
