Why Cross Rules?

Cross is funny that way. I have tried to write a few times on why I love cross. I really can't narrow it down. It is just fun. I can't say it any other way. Cross has changed the way I look at racing. I have been racing bikes now for awhile. I started road racing, then went into mountain bike racing. Both are awesome. The one year I heard about cross. I borrowed a bike and gave it a try. I fell in love and have been racing since. I don't worry too much about being in shape for road season anymore. I just work and get ready for cross. Here are some pics of my beautiful ride.


Here is a breakdown of my bike:
Pinarello CX Carbon frameset
3T bar and stem
Sram Red Groupo
FSA SLK Brakeset
Reynolds DV46 Cross Tubulars
Tufu Flexus Tires
Thomson Master Post

The FSA Brakes are the best brakes on the market for cross. Endless adjustment and extreme stopping power. The Reynolds wheels are a super bomb proof tubular wheelset that weighs a little over 1300 grams. The Pini frame rocks. Short top tube allows for great handling through the tight corners and technical sections in cross. The carbon Pini uses really helps with all vibration dampening. That is my quick review on the bike.
