Look what I got.
The deal was too good to pass up. I traded a mountian bike I wasn't riding for it. I now have my single-speed road bike (it's got a freewheel. Maybe it'll get a flip-flob hub someday).

That's pretty ill (pun!), I dig the ss cross. I've been batting the idea around in my head of a ss cross with magura rim brakes, and road levers (they made 'em!).

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

Also, hydraulic rim brakes are only marginally more powerful and controllable than V's - and also heavier - speaking from experience. They are 100% more awesome, I admit, but I would just get XTR V's and spend the money I saved on other parts.
