Next up is another Pretorius, their Bosvelder cyclocross frame that I also bought in 2016. This has shared cyclocross race duties with a Trek Crockett for the past 7 seasons and has, according to Strava, done 3k kilometres. I've also used it as a gravel bike, which is also excels at.
Again it's a size Large, but I can't find the geometry on line anymore. It is as follows:
Seat tube 565
Top Tube 564
Head tube 165
Headtube angle 71.5
Seat tube angle 73
Chainstay 425
Front Centre 622
Stack 580
Reach. 386
BB drop 65
This also has a Chris King headset, with Enve cross fork and takes a 31.6 seatpost, Thomson seat collar included. The bottom bracket is BSA, and the brakes are both post mount. Tyre clearance is not great compared to today's gravel bikes, but you can, just, get a 38 mm wide tyre in the rear, possibly larger at the front. 12 mm thru axles front and rear.
The condition is superb, with a just a few cosmetic marks to the fork and frame.
