When CX was like steel : Real

[Lewis Moon]

My latest build. I wanted a cheapish but nice CX build to be the bike I haul on vacations. The frame came with a bent fork so I had Steve Garro at Coconino build me a new one...which I had to rattlecan because he lost his painter. Basic parts box build. I call it the "Love Tractor".https://photos.app.goo.gl/AZNFNhNMvTt7nziA8

Image assist, 'cause it's worth it.

The frame is too small plus E25 tires : /

Nah...that's how I've spec'd my bikes for 45 years. Thanks for your insightful input though.
Here's a pic of Ryan Trebon's 2014 bike he rode to 2nd place at the US Nationals. When you're big, sometimes the measurements look weird.

Those Embrocation Ridleys were so hot. Loving this thread.
