After fucking my old Hillman road frame(and a few others on between) I though I’d build something I could smash off gutters:
Thomson stem and post, XT cranks and brakes, White Industries rear hub, Centaur front laced to CPX33’s.
I LOVE it.
Very nice Erle. What’s the gear ratio?
See…I told you.
so good erle
I had a moment the other day while I was smashing it across a park thinking to myself, Nick was right… Haha that didn’t actually happen, but you were on the money.
I’m running 44/18 so 66 gear inches.
very nice build
the wazoo rules
hey erle nice job
is that a thomson elite stem?
if so do you mind me asking where you picked it up? wiggle had them at a decent price but they have been discontinued and only have 130mm length available i was after something shorter… and bsc has some version of it but its almost 200 bones :x
DO WANT!
what size tires are you running dude?
Here’s a close relative, Erle. I don’t think I ever took pics when it was a singlespeed.
Holy shitballs Nick! that looks amazing!!!
Adzbro, I’m running 35’s.
Yeah it’s great. It’s a 2005 one so it’s 853 and vertical (non-sliding) dropouts.
And surprisingly, I’ve discovered that Cosmics can take a lot of punishment 
This one’s got 40mm tyres and there’s still room for more!
And I’ve been doing a great job resisting the temptation to buy another one but you’re fucking that up now 
I bought the Concorde on the proviso that you would buy another Wazoo!
Erle’s adjustable dropouts are trick. You definitely need one.
I guess I’m out of excuses? Will people raise their eyebrows at me for having two SS CX bikes?
Anyone wanna buy a Pompino?
I might be getting a new fork if you want a Voodoo number for your new frame?
Well it does put you ahead of the curve on the new trend.
And you’ll be able to sell when the crosstadex peaks.
I think you’re my kryptonite Erle.
wheels looking huge
nice ride
