Vanilla- I got one of the custom Speedvagens on order. Got fitted by Sacha at the new shop the first week of May. Going to retire my 4 year old Orbea to pit/trainer duty.
This is the setup as it appeared during the Snowpocalypse of 2010 and as it will most likely be raced this year. After the 2009 cross season I tore the whole bike apart and made it a bit more race worthy. The only thing I have left to do is cut the steerer tube. For the upcoming season I'll be running Challenge Grifo 32's on the primary wheelset (seen here) and Maxxis Raze on the spare set
Here is my new ride for this year. My first cross bike as well. weighs 19.8 lbs in pictures. stock except for xt pedals and GP4000 tires. riding this as a road bike until this fall, and it compliments my xc training nicely.
Nice tri-cross! i just bought the exact same frame on ebay ..how does it ride? do the zerts inserts make a differnce? what wheels and tires are you running?
Last year's rig has no wheels at the moment since all the tubulars have yet to be glued, needs new brake pads and has had its pulley poached for another bike. Soon enough I'll get that back together and get photos up.
New for this year will be a Blue Norcross, for which I should have the frame and most parts by the weekend.

I think that will be a good combo anyhow. Last year I ran that setup a couple times... and have actually used an SSC on the back with a Rhino on the front quite a lot. Just like on a MTB.... it's nice to have a faster rolling tire in the rear and a bit more bite up front.
