Here's an update on the bike I built up a few months ago.
And racing - bit of fun blurring up my face there!
The steerer has been cut down to my preferred height. I used a
Rothenberg pipe cutter for this - great tool - I'd recommend it. Saddle
is a ProLogo Kappa, not expensive and fine so far for cyclocross, if a
bit narrow for my "a-few-too-many-puddings-hips". Wheels are Mach1 Omega
rims on Shimano Tiagra, 32h, shod with Michelin Mud 2 folding tyres - cheap as chips and go ok.
There's a seat pack which obviously will be removed for racing. I've
enjoyed this bike - three races so far, and all is well.
That's the end of this 'cross season. I'm really looking forward to the next one!
