SSCX Only!

I've only just finished clearing mud out of my drivetrain after Crossmass. So next year I'm going to ride single speed. So that means a new build, yay! The Cinelli Tutti is new to the market, has anyone tried it yet?

My one piece of advice on choosing a sscx frame, is deciding what chain tensioning method is going to work for you. I had an ebb for a while, but having changed to adjustable dropouts, it makes changing gear so much easier.

Tricross not covered in mud, or upside down with rider in puddle.

Just looked at the Tutto, I’d check tyre clearance, claims it can accommodate up to 35 mm wide tyres, which won’t leave much mud clearance with a 32 or 34 mm tyre.

I'd get something with rear facing dropouts ideally. Or if a total bargs comes up on a well know auction website then an eccentric rear hub or BB (depending on BB type). My immediate thoughts were a pompino but they seldom have XL in stock.

Yeah I was concerned about that. It's going to be a trade off as the bike will be a more general cruiser too. I do like the Cinelli Mash SSCX but it's spendy. And I did think the Mash Work but I don't have the panache to pull it off and it's even spendier. I did consider getting an old tourer frame and building around that. Well I have many months to decide but I'm excited so I doubt I'll wait that long.

I'd sell my xl mash CXSS if I could find a large to replace it. I've been trying to for years

@psg1ben I have just updated my saved searches on eBay. If it's out there I'll find it.

Meh, looks ok I guess. ;-)

Looking good, esp like the DBAD touch.

Thanks. I have a lot of love for DBAD

Fuji Crack with Campagnolo Gran Sport rear brake

might try this with my old fuji? what width tyre is in the back?

That's cool.

Do it! Its a 33 Challenge Limus Tubular on a Mavic Mach2 CD2 rim

Pics?

Of?

Nice, do you race it? I got half way with my dolan, thought the rear brake would be a sticking point, literally

Trp cx mini vs you're selling

Clamp-on canti-bosses (shimmed to fit)?

Does such a thing exist?! I was gonna go down the drilled route

Yeah but usually designed for forks, and not too easy to find (more of a retro MTB thing), but they do exist. Identiti ones commonly available are for fat steel MTB DJ forks; would be a bit bulky/overbuilt for a rear seatstay, however.
