I wanted a Hunqapillar, but I realized it was too far out of budget. I decided to set up my Sam a little more hardcore and get something else that would be an All-Arounder type bike. I ended up with a Soma Double Cross, and it's proven to be excellent. It's getting a full write-up in my Cycling Illustrated column<http://cyclingillustrated.com/category/scot-hinckley-danielson/>, but that won't be online until tomorrow. If you read it and maybe even comment, I'd be really grateful. I'm just trying to gently remind the racing folks that there are other bikes to ride. Here's the build list for the time being. It has notes because it appears in the article as well. * Soma Double Cross frame $425 (ordered through 20/20 Cycle<http://2020cycle.com/news/> ) Soma Cyclo-Cross Fork $150 (really exceptional, really great value) Salsa Delgado Cross/LX Wheels $270 (hand-built by Jim Thill<http://thillwheels.blogspot.com/> ) Schwalbe Marathon Racer 700x35c $15/each (scored at Bike Expo from Schwalbe) Velo Orange 48x34t Double $100 (on sale) MKS Touring Pedals $40 9 speed chain, KMC probably $20 Shimano 12-36t 9 speed cassette $50 (serious range) Shimano bottom bracket $30 (I think) ENE Grand Comp bar end shifters $70 (friction shifting is sweet) Shifter cables/housing $15 Nitto Moustache Handlebars $90 (super versatile, great bars) Shimano brake levers $50 (Tiagra, Sora, something like that...) Brake cables/housing $15 Shimano cantilever brakes $15 (old as hell design, still good, still in production) Civia Stem $20 Velo Orange Headset $40 Soma set-back seatpost $25 (probably) Velo Orange Model 6 saddle $45 (crazy sale price + coupon) Shimano Deore RD $55 IRD Alpina triple FD $40 (in case I ever want a Sugino triple for instance) Newbaum’s cotton bar tape $10 King stainless water bottle cage $20 Miscellaneous stuff I forgot $25 (?)* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
