Frameset was purchased last summer to use as a commuter and pit bike. I
originally built it up with a Shimano Tiagra 9sp components. I only commuted
about 10 times and was never rode in the rain. It was never used in a race.
It was just recently rebuilt and upgraded from last year using completely different
components and parts with an upgraded Ultegra 6600 drivetrain and Truvativ
Rouleur compact crank with a new 46t FSA outer ring. The dependable
OP/Ultegra wheelset has about 500 miles from road training only and the
Hutchinson tires are barely used. It's race-ready.
The frame and fork has fender braze-ons and would make a great commuter
bike. I have Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires that I can swap or throw in if you will use
this as a commuter.
Also, if you're not a fan of the Toupe saddle, I have a VeloSport saddle
that has more cushion for those remounts.
I'm 5'9 and ride a 54 road bike and this bike fits me for cross.
Get it in time for the remaining VACX races and soon to be announced January races.
