Pretty awesome bike man. I dig it. Satpost is a little out of place but none the less I'd ride it. :wink:

Nice.

Carbon one piece bars for cross... brave man.
Speedplay pedals with their expensive, slippery and cheese-like cleats... well balanced and deep pocketed man.
Agree on the carbon seatpost looking a little funny and maybe not being up to cross, but whateva, its a seatpost.
I think running gear cabling below the DT on a MTB or cross bike is a bit silly, but that cannot be changed. If it were me, I would have full length liners, as I am lazy and do not clean my bikes much.

Edit: just realised that the tyres are road tyres, in which case, it seems like an awesome winter bike, I guess. :noidea: I live in Australia and we have no need for 'winter bikes' :D

Well its finally finished, though still experimenting with the handlebar stem height. Changed the Use Alien Aero and Fizik Arione carbon to a EC90 and Arione CX carbon and have added mudguards and a computer. I've lusted after a 'Dale cross bike for years as a winter trainer and am stoked at the final outcome 8)

Nice bike as always CAADHEAD :thumbup:

The EC90 post and Arione fit like twins (I like to create new expression as an english-noob)

I would have loved to have such a bike for a good winter training. Ride comfy on the road and if it's snowing or freezing, swap the wheels for cross tires and get offroad (have a forest next home :D ) without changing position.
Well, maybe then, going back on the race bike isn't the same position :noidea:
