This one is bound for Oregon

This is a race-day bike made from the lightest stuff in the shop. I hope it lasts long and gets used in all that mud up there in Eugene and Portland.
There's a couple of things on this frame that might help it hold up to the beating that is cyclocross racing. # 1, the seat stays are really stout, pertty much straight-guage 7005.# 2, the new chainstay gussett will help prevent a crack at one of the more highly stressed points in the frame.
