  1. What is the front derailleur clamp size on the Cross-check?

    Can't find it anywhere, my frame is on the way, and I need
    to order a derailleur.

    Nebbermind. Found it in the Quality catalog (well, to be
    honest, it was QBP by proxy: thanks R.B.Tech).

    Wanted to build up my Cross Check for under a
    grand...including Kryptonite Locking skewers and NY Chain,
    the damn thing was 1300. You only live once.

    Heh. I was tempted - briefly - to set up SS, but it's my
    school commuter, so I carry 10-20 extra pounds in books
    every time out, and the area has _just_ enough hills to work
    up a sweat. So what's wrong with that? I don't want to be
    all drippy in lecture. And, those hills + extra weight +
    singlespeed gearing = extra force on my already hashed
    knees. No good.

    Also, I'm gonna buy a cheapo Nashbar wheelset for skinny
    tires so the Cross-Check can be my road bike, too. And
    nobody rides centuries on a SS.

    I'm a half-assed techie, too. SSs just aren't me.

    Chris (does agree the Cross-Check is a fine steed though)

    They don't? I've seen guys ride centuries on beach cruisers
    and I believe one of the guys featured in Pete's Arizona
    videos did one on a 20" BMX.

    Feh. I saw a guy do the New York City Century on a unicycle.

    Now _this_ is a valid reason. Enjoy the Crosscheck. They're
    magnificent bikes.
