Monstercross?

I was a little bored a few days ago and thought to try this idea. I mounted my drop bars on the Concubine. More based on the fact it's taking along time to accumulate the parts for the yet to be named road bike.

I guess some people call it monstercross but whatever. In reality I wanted to try out a different set up. Partially because I have always wanted to try it out. And because cyclocross racing begins in about 6 weeks. Well, when ever the OCA actually gets some info out. But more on that in another post.



So far it seems okay. the biggest problem so far is the stem needs to be 70mm not 90mm. And needs a 15 to 20 degree rise. It's still effecting my hands a bit plus feel a bit stretched out. Though the bigger issue is the little brake pad retaining bolt has siezed. Will have to use the vice at the shop to help deal with it this week.

A little fun item that came of the the Chromag Bikes Blog,
