Thanks all,
I have a super exciting project coming up for SSCXWC and SSCXEC.
Most likely I will be starting fabrication of a couple of SSCX bikes with my friend next weekend. We are working out the details, but I will end up with my own creation instead of riding the Tricross. I will go for more or less same setup, just steel frame instead of alu, 44mm HT and 130mm rear spacing so I can use my carbon hoops :-)
Fitted the mudguards yesterday.
It is a fine fine ride now. I will thoroughly enjoy this over winter I imagine.
Now I just need to decide on colour. Easy solution is black. Black mudguards and silver/black components would work well with black frame. I not so sure blue will work out. I am going to build a new sscx very soon which I will have painted Midnight Blue, this means I will sell my Specialized Tricross I had painted RAL 7032 Pebble grey. I really like this colour so i might get the Giant painted that colour to keep it in my life :-)
I am tempted to polish rack and give it jade oil. I am not sure how well it will last, but rumors say it is a quite tough finish. And my bikes are parked indoors overnight always.
