I was really happy when Mark (a very longtime customer and cross bike enthusiast) emailed to see if I would be interested in building his "monster-cross" project bike. It looked like a lot of fun and a change of scenery from all the road bike orders. It is really a bike that you can do just about ANYTHING on. I love the the way Mark built out the bike with his emphasis on dependable and durable, yet lightweight, Thanks so much Mark and Sally (she has the white-black-pink crosser two pages back) and enjoy!
