Only slightly slacker geo than the Voodoo Wazoo, track ends with a derailleur hanger, bidon/fender mounts, 40-18 gearing, huge mud/tyre clearance.

This is a pretty good budget CX machine, SS or geared. There’s a large and an XL left.

PS: BSC have these in stock if you wanted to look at one in the steel.

Pretty short headtubes though. Might not be optimal for drop bars if you don’t like to stretch.

I’d just flip those bars
Would make an awesome, cheap monster cross bike

I’d wait until you see the width before you do that!

Mild riser stem and to hell with the aesthetics.

Those bikes are crazy light the former voodoo importor told me he would sit on the back of road bunches on beach road on his. Besides the paint job they would make good townie’s.

you realise you’re on a cycling forum, yeah?

You have seen my bikes right?

I agree it’s cheap… what does the headtube on a 56cm version look like out of interest?

i see it ,you could chuck a pair of those salsa wood chiper bars , end shifters and keep the rise moderate in the stem department. would need a coat of matt black though that paint work is soooo florida 87’

I think it’s time for another Post Your Stable thread anyway, Mr. B.

Soon. I have four builds on the go.

the geo is similar to my Surly Karate Monkey. Only concern is the long wheelbase.

and am I the only one who kinda likes the paint job?!?

swap the fork out for something more aggressive, then maybe you got me

and yes

I know who the mystery buyer of the 27% of Voodoo stock that came up recently on the NYSE is now. Are you outta your goddam MIND?

Veloaficionado, do I sense a potential takeover coming on that no one else knows about? I know Gordon Gekko wouldn’t share the info but aren’t we all friends here?

How many friends have you made after 1 post?

Has anyone seen one of these Dolan frames in the flesh? Another cheap (if totally ugly decals are your thing) option maybe?

I saw a Dolan track frame last year, that bloke that was over from Scotland or whatever brought his over. It was the cheapy one, and the decals were horrible. The welding was really shithouse looking too, but solid. Just really cheap in appearance. But he reckons it rode good like.

Old Dolans were great… then they sold the name (i think) and now everything is cheap and crappy looking. they have a cheap version of most frame types on UK ebay (and it clutters up my searches :frowning: )

Way to go encouraging new posters. Bit like turning up at a road race and all the D grade superstars ignoring you, I suppose.

Why do you want to go cheap cx anyway? Break it, throw it away? Get a decent frame - it’s the only thing that’ll last from that particular bike. Grandpa’s axe.
