I though I would post a picture of the bike I’m spending the most time on these days, as it is my favorite bike! The bike is my custom True North cyclocross bicycle. The frame is Columbus Cyber steel, and is just magical to ride, both on road and off. The frame is set up with Campy 1010 long angled dropouts, so you can ride it fixed, single or with gears. I don’t think I’ve ever had gears on it though. Currently the bike is built up with a FSA gossamer crank, Dura-Ace octalink BB, True Temper Alpha-Q CX fork, Paul’s touring Canti’s, FSA SLK seatpost, Selle Italia SLR GelFlow saddle, FSA headset, Ritchey stem, TTT Morpheus Handlebar and some old Chorus Ergopower shifters that I gutted the shift mechanisms out of for some ultra-light brake levers. The wheels are just what was lying around – a surly fixed/free rear hub laced to an Open Pro rim and a Campy Zonda front. The bike is set up fixed with a 42:16 gear, which seems to be good for just about everything around here. I’m running Panaracer Pasala 700x32C tires, which are awesome. They might be slower than 700x23C tires, but not enough so as I can tell, and at 60 PSI they are far more comfortable, and handle gravel with no problems.
