CruX E5 OSBB Frameset

The CruX is a cross beast, with race-optimized geometry, OSBB, tapered head tube, internal cable routing, and an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio. Build it up with the spec of your choice.

  • Cross racing-specific E5 alloy frame with tapered head tube, integrated headset, and OSBB is ultra-tough; shaped top tube provides easy shouldering
  • FACT carbon fork with tapered steerer provides best balance of strength, stiffness, and compliance for rough terrain

Just reading everyones thoughts and Banter on Twitter & Facebook about todays Dirty Deeds Cyclocross  Should have made the effort to take the kids with me to stand around in the cold and watch the Boys & Girls (Congrats @aimzbradley) get rad and dirty .

youtube vid "borrowed" from channelbecd's youtube, get in touch with me if you want it removed?

Not sure how I would go at it but it looks like a heap of fun at the detriment to a fair bit of pain see link to @LSD_SNR taking a little nap or recovery here

Even spray painting the grass for encouragement

Maybe next round.

The Tour De France baggy eyes are keeping me pretty heavily grounded anyway just like this known local character
