Washed out yesterday on some deep gravel and put a small crack in the top-tube of my 2010 chili con crosso. I need a reasonable replacement frame suitable for my failed attempts at racing cross. Looking at a Specialized Crux but wanted to see if anyone had opinions on the 2012-2013 Kona Jake The Snake.

I want a new, cheaper CX frame for the coming season and am all over this.

My 2013 Cinelli Zydeco frameset was $900 here in Toronto, purchased in April. All carbon tapered fork. Headset included. Spare derailleur hanger included. English threaded BB.

There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

Hey Maximilian...you read my mind.

I ordered a new Crux frame-set in that color scheme last Wednesday, (canti version).

No knowledge of the Kona, but the new Treck Crocket frameset looks good... disc or canti.
