who's building one this year?
Almost everyone ditched their road bikes last year for a CX, so someones got to be itching for the next N+1
For me I'm probably going bigger, though I did considered a proper CX bike, but I don't plan to race therefore moving in another direction. Originally consider something like a Soma Wolverine or Surly Straggler for 45mm tires, but the BG RnR can already handle that tire size. Also I'm really happy with all my thru axle setups and don't want to go back to QR, therefore choices are limited.
Here's the perfect bike, but way out of budget (Moots Baxter). Does anyone know of other options for a true Monster Cross frame with can handle tires wider than 2"?
Still open to using a 29r frame (sized down one to get the right dimensions) like a Karate Monkey or Vassago Verhauen, but want more room for bottles and bags inside the triangle.
