Felt Breed Single Speed Cyclocross Bike For Sale

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:15:48 +0000

Last year, I bought a Felt Breed single speed cyclocross bike for my return to the Utah Cyclocross scene. While I love the simplicity of one gear, no shifters, and easy clean up of the single, I found myself missing the action in the Master A race. This season, I am going gears, and have decided to see if anyone needs a good deal on this beautiful Felt. It is out of the box stock, except for 175mm cranks FSA Gossamer (instead of 172.5), and Maxxis Mud 700 x 35mm clincher tires. It is a size 53, which has an effective 54 cm top tube. It handle the Utah courses wonderfully, and I even have a selection of Surly rear cogs so you can get your gearing dialed in. Ask any questions in the comments below, I’ll make you deal if you are interested. To see all the images, visit my Flickr Gallery.

Fall Clothing Order for Cyclocross Season? Anyone?

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:38:47 +0000

Hey y’all. I want to get the ball rolling asap on a fall clothing order for the upcoming cross season. Turnaround is about 6 weeks if we order soon. On the last batch of clothing, I ordered a prototype long sleeve skinsuit, and it is pretty sharp (I will post photos later). Any interest? If we could drum up the interest to order a minimum of 6 pieces, we can get them for about $125 a piece, which is a pretty darn good price for a custom long sleeve skinsuit. Any takers?

Good Weather in SLC for Lunchie Rides

Even though many of the diehard cyclocross racers have been praying for rain, snow, and mud, I have been digging this warm and sunny weather. Nice to sneak out for a lunch ride and not have to get all bundled up with winter gear. Yesterday, I went out with a co-worker from Welikesmall. We rode from Sugarhouse up to 3300, then up to Wasatch Blvd. Saw lots of riders cruising Wasatch, then ran into Ben Attridge who was riding the other way. This weather won’t last. I’m predicting that this Saturday’s CX race at the Weber Fairgrounds will be the last dry one.

Pre-order Vests and Long Sleeve Jerseys

Many club members and cycling fashionistas have asked if we were going to put together a cold weather clothing order. We have negotiated some great prices on Vests and Long Sleeve jerseys. Head on over to the online store, place a pre-order for vests and/or long sleeves, and we will do a small order. Delivery is looking like early to mid-December, which means you’ll have stuff for the tail end of cyclocross season (maybe), nordic ski season, and spring 2010. Prices are cheap for custom clothing in small quantities, so once again, Squadra is hooking us up.

Long sleeve jerseys and vests available for pre-order in the store now.

We’re trying to get an idea of who is interested in ordering some custom X-Men cold weather clothing? We have again been given super low pricing for long sleeve jerseys, jackets, and vests. Who’s in? I will post thumbnail images of the designs in our X-Men Online Store, and we will take pre-orders once the images are up.

Cyclocross, or PsychoCross, practice races are being held in various locations around Park City. Check out the schedule for the next few weeks here: Park City Psycho-Cross Blog.
