Specialized Crux Elite 2013

[Damaged Hero]

Picked this up on Saturday,taken it for a spin this morning and I love it.I lowered the saddle a bit but have now realized it needs to be moved up again.It was nice and shiney but after 8 laps of my local park it ended up in this state.
There are 3 remaining races in the West Midlands Cyclo-Cross League which I am planning to take part in.Can't wait

Love these bikes, the crux kinda looks like a Tarmac which has been in the gym on steroids, can really see myself with one

That does look very nice but White bar tape ? Why o why would they make a cyclocross bike with White tape ? Impressive how you kept the bars so clean though

Nice bike that DH, did you take any 'pre-ride' photos when it was clean?

My bike had it's free check up last week and the forks were also sent off to Specialized to be checked as they are 1 of 3 models being recalled due to faulty Carbon Forks.It effects around 12,200 bikes including 2012/2013 Tarmac SL4, 2013 Crux and the 2013 Secteur Disc.
Picked it up yesterday and was pleased to see that as an apology for the disruption caused they gave me a £100 Voucher to spend in the Specialized store , Typically I don't need anything at the moment so not too sure what I will spend it on.

 

[P.H]

Did you get to race it? If ever there was a bike that looks like it ought to be dirty, that's it.

Yes I did,I raced 2 races in the West Midlands Cyclo-Cross League. I placed 39th out of 57 in Henley In Arden and managed 3 laps of Wolverhampton Aldersley Leisure Village before my rear mech got clogged and nearly ripped off my frame.Looking forward to doing a full season this year.
