Oh I say sir. That looks a proper job. Black and red saddle and she would be perfect.

How much does it cost to Oldham?

Very handsome, but first thought was: aero rims on a CX bike?
But I did a bit of googling and found this:

So, OK, fair enough.

It may be your favourite, but favourite what? It is definitely not a CX bike.

That would be another possible reason for the deep rims...
And the road tyres
You do see a lot of deep rims even at Sunday League level, but it's definitely in the very marginal category.

And the road tyres
I didn't even notice that at first - didn't look beyond the combination of drops and disk brakes, though of course that is obviously no longer such a definitive indicator of a cross bike as it once was...

Damn it... I withdraw my entry.
I started reading the blurb next to the pictures and it was about how Stevens have been producing cx bikes and then just got drawn in by the pictures. Having read the blurb in it's entirety it does appear to be a road race bike. Me still likey but not the prettiest cx bike.

Some nice bikes on display here....and since I started the thread I've come to a choice on my next CX bike.....replacing my CAADX with.......Another CAADX:
If I can find one that is....they seem to be a bit like gold dust. Only things I would change would be the crank (had bad experiences with FSA cranks before-reuse my shimano CX50), saddle (re-use my Fizik) and tyres (Probably some Mich Mud 2's).

Two bikes! For the pro look you need two bikes! And a pit bitch! With a jet wash!

I suspect my current bike will be in the trash after next March, as I'm doing the Paris-Roubaix challenge on it, and it will probably be fairly destroyed. It's a 2011 model and has seen better days.

As you may know from my previous entry I come at this from the business end 'form ever follows function' so the Ritchey Swiss Cross has the simplicity of a paper clip, have a look
