She's a beaut. She's light, stiff, and fast. Loves to sprint, and feels like an afterthought during run-ups. There are a lot of these frames every weekend at the Cross-Crusade - so I've been feeling a bit like that girl at prom with the same dress every else has. Doesn't matter though, it's a great bike.

Gorgeous bike. You're gonna feel dread at the thought of it's first muddy cross race...
oh - we already did this last weekend at the cycle-cross single-speed world champs at PIR. some pictures here: http://pdxcross.com/2008/11/10/pir-cross-crusade-photo-slideshow-no-sscxwc-yet/
Rod has a few pics of us after the race that show off how incredibly muddy our bottom brackets were. (and us, of course)
:-)
It's too much fun to be heartbreaking - although.... replacing all my brake/shifter casings and cables after just 3 races was heartbreaking(!)
$$$ ouch!
