Mr. Sheesh is pretty jealous...he bought himself a Giant TCX frame last year and built it up. He now hopes I hate the SRAM stuff so he can steal it and swap for whatever he has on his TCX. For some reason, I'm thinking that's not gonna happen.

I took many suggestions from the owner of our LBS on this bike - the single ring in the front, flipped the brakes, the cheater levers. I've never done cross before, so I guess I'll figure it out as I go along!
