That looks mint.

Guys, I want to build a cross bike. What Frameset should I get? Mostly for commuting but it must be race capable, disc, prefer BB30 but it doesn't matter, well under $1k.

[Dr. Steve Brule]

Specialized Crux is always a solid choice. Not particularly 'boutique' but I'd imagine they're popular for a reason.

Giant TCX is beautiful

Really? You're literally the first person I've ever heard say that.

I heard a Cannondale rep say it once as well.

I have a Red BB30 crank sitting around that I would prefer to use over my GXP Rival which is also sitting around. Parts bin getting full.

I'll probably get a Crux because my team discount gets me 20% off Specy junk. Just wanted to see what else was out there.

I hate bb30 with a passion. We pretty much take all bb30s apart and grease them if a bike comes in for service. If we don't, it'll start creaking within a week and we get blamed.

I got some pikes for my chameleon, feel like they're in an entirely different league than my old revelations and look massive to my 32mm adjusted eyes.



also generally looking a bit shabby, thinking about getting it resprayed matt black and pink frame/wheel stickers, danny mac style?: http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb12070345/p4pb12070345.jpg

It's looking pretty busy, would probably look a lot better if you destickered the frame, maybe rims, got rid of the shifter windows, maybe 1x10 it with a wide range cassette, trim the steerer etc

[MEAT]

Steerers already trimmed, we have some pretty steep hills around here (+ fat and weak), so the front mech stays too.

I'd go fully destickered on any other bike, but the frame cost me a bloody fortune, so i dont want anyone to be in any doubt about that, ill try with the rims, etc though.
