Toying with making the jump to disc brake CX, so my current rig is essentially ready to go.
This is a serious race rig that has served me well both on the east coast, and now the west coast. The frame is an Empella Bonfire SL in a 54cm, which due to CX sizing fits like a 56cm road bike. It’s built up with DA 7800 shifters and Ultegra rear derailleur; crank is an Easton EC90 carbon crank with a single ring 42t chainring and dual chainguard. YOU WILL NEVER DROP A CHAIN WITH THIS BIKE (guess what used to happen to me all the time when I raced). No front derailleur, naturally. Post is a Pro PLT carbon/aluminum, stem is a 110mm Specialized Alloy OS stem and the bar is a aluminum ControlTech ergonomic bar. Brakes are TRP EuroX Carbon cantilevers.
Wheels are SOLD
Saddle is a Fizik Arione.
This bike is a legit, lean, mean CX race machine. If you’re not familiar with Empella, they built some of the best CX specific frames in the last 10 years.
Bike can be shipped, or delivered to any PDX/OR area cx race. In fact, if you’re racing Alpenrose… I’ll be there, with this bike! Take it home with you!
Price drop - now just $1000 for the whole bike (will include a set of Shimano RS80 carbon/aluminum wheels), $350 for the frameset. Tubulars are already sold.
Also, apologies for some of the dirt/dust - I cleaned it off fairly well for the pics, but the first few months of CX season are dry and dusty here, and it shows on the crank.
