Current Stage Info:

RIP Steertube.

Bought a replacement fork for this frame, but am considering leaving this frame to rest to break free from the post mount 160mm only curse.

Absolutely the best cross frame I've raced.

Niiiice - I've been thinking about a Mares CX in singlespeed mode exactly for a few months (to replace my Transition Rapture). Surprised someone had the same idea! Must be pretty light? How do you like it so far?

Thank you! I haven't weighed it yet but it already feels lighter than my Crockett.
