2005 Mountain Cycle Stumptown CX
My next ride: 2005 Mountain Cycle Stumptown CX build
trying to decide on discs or canti's for this "classic". It has my 60cm top-tube dimension, which for CX bikes is hard to find. Bought this (shipped out of state) from Sellwood, who I highly recommend!

Same here. A CX frame with lots of tire clearance and a decent BB drop. I differ in that I prefer some 40mm Clement MSO's for the rough stuff. Regular 33mm (roughly) CX tires for the easier days. If I want to go to 28's, I'll just take my road bike.

Set up with fenders and 28s but fits 35s without them.
Fat steel tubes and standard reach brakes. This thing has been a blast to ride. Has gotten a longer mud flap on the front fender since the photo. On the fence about the carbon/aluminum IRD fork. I would love to have Joe @ Primus Mootry build me a matching steal fork sometime in the future or find an alpha-q cs-25 (yeah right!). |

Check out the 44 Bike Co. Huntsman in the current Builder Spotlight! This looks like a perfect Gravel Grinder!

The pic below is from the inaugural Hilly Billy Roubaix in West Virginia several years ago. 70-odd miles, big gravel, gnarly dirt roads / ATV trails.
I rode my Surly Pacer with 28mm Pasela's. They were woefully inadequate. Had 3-4 flats throughout the race (note the half-deflated rear tire) and went *really* slow down the loose-gravel descents. For reference, last year's winner was on a carbon 29er with suspension fork. |

Maybe because they're cheaper, ligher, and require less maintenance.

As shown in the pic, the Pacer had a 1x8 Shimano drivetrain with a single rear shifter. It currently has a 2x10 Campy drivetrain with Record DT shifters. I have a race bike with 10 speed Ergo shifters, but I honestly prefer the feel of DT shifters more. |

I have a 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP that was rattle canned and built with parts I had laying around and bought on close out. The tires were the most expensive component. Works well for riding in the desert around PHX.
