(28.6mm) clamp diameter for the FD.

Enjoy the usable road bike.

Thanks for the info. What's up with the "usable" part? Is
that a

of the frame? Just curious.

But the ride will be extremely usable...no junk carbon/ti
nonsense, stuff that works first, looks good second,
impresses other riders third. Usable. I like that.

I just built one. The idea was a to put together a bike to
play with on WV Nat'l Forest fireroads. Essentially a
heavy duty but nimble almost mountain bike. I figured an
ugly fun little tank. Turns out it is finished much better
than I expected. A little heavy but rides very well on the
road, comfortable, stable. No buyers remorse, I'd buy
another one in a minute. I put some plastic fenders on it
for a 40 mile ride in the rain Sunday and came home mostly
dry with a smile. This will be my new winter/awful weather
bike as well.

Enjoy your CrossCheck

I'm from Michigan, home of the worst roads in the free
world. I have a Trek 5200 road bike with 700x25s and a
basterized Trek 7500FX that has drop bars, barcons, LX v-
brakes and Ritchie cross tires at 700x30.

Sure the 5200 is faster and lighter, but I can ride for much
longer and much further on the 7500fx. It's a road bike that
can handle sidewalks at 16mph.

As I said, enjoy the usable road bike.
