What Cyclocross Bike Should I Buy?

Velo Loser posted an article on - Jun 23, 2010, 8:00 pm
As some of you know, I began my bike racing "career" with last year's cyclocross season, and was instantly hooked. As much as I've enjoyed the road season this year, there's nothing like cyclocross for me. For my introduction to cross, I modified a touring bike. It worked well for learning, but I'd...

Barry Roubaix My first race this year was a 35-mile gravel grinder in Barry County, Michigan. I went in without expectations, just wanting to get out there and re-familiarize myself with how it feels to race. The morning was cold and windy, but nothing compared to the deep winter freeze we'd e...
