Cyclocross is Around the Corner...
Time to get geared up, or maybe cut down to one gear. Whatever your taste may be, come see us. We've stocked up on Felt F75x bikes with Shimano 105, F65x bikes with SRAM Apex and DISC BRAKES (!!), and we have a few Breed single speed bikes as well....

Lynskey Cooper - XS with SRAM Force/Rival mix
Here's a sweet "little" build. An x-small Lynskey Cooper with a nice SRAM mix of components, HED Bastogne wheels, Vittoria EVO CX clinchers, and a Salsa cockpit.
This one was built up for a rider at roughly 5' even, with the intent of beginning the journey into road riding.
Titanium frame, Alpha-Q carbon fork, 700c wheels on this x-small. Normally on a bike this size we'd really lean toward a 650c, but if you already have wheels and want to make it work, we can.
Beautiful decals are easy to replace. One of the great aspects of Ti and Lysnkey's finish specifically is that we can take care of it in-house. We have a few tricks to handle scratches, though you'd really need to do some damage to leave a mark on your Ti frame. We can also order replacement decal kits in a number of colors to customize the frame.
Lynskey uses a beautiful head badge on all of their bikes. It's also available as a key chain, a nice touch for the cyclist in your life who has "everything".
SRAM Force, a bit of an unsung hero of the SRAM lineup. The vast majority of the performance of Red at a much more affordable price.

This just in...
Our very first Felt F65x! This is Felt's first foray into disc brakes on a CX bike, though we're told just the beginning.
The finish is beautifully done, the matte black/white/silver works really well on this bike. The frame is alloy and virtually identical to that of the F55x, albeit with a rear disc mount. Spacing on the rear is a very smart 135mm, so any disc 29er wheels are ready to slot in.
The fork on the other hand is all new for Felt. It's a near-full-carbon fork, with a carbon steerer, the only alloy being found in the dropouts. If this is anything like Felt's other forks, expect it to be quite stiff. It's tapered from 1-1/8" to 1-1/2".
The drivetrain consists of SRAM Apex shifters, Rival derailleurs, a SRAM alloy S300 BB30 crankset with 46/38 chainrings, a SRAM chain and 11-28 cassette.

Rounding out the kit are Ashima rotors, a Felt Devox cockpit, and Felt CXR3 wheels. We're mostly curious how the rotors and wheels will do. The lightweight rotors are LIGHT, and the wheels are 24 hole laced 2x front and 28h 2x rear.
