reynolds 853 or scandium. I am pals with the sycip boys and love what they do,
granted they are out west in Cali but they have the cross fit and ride dialed.
Certainly IF or a local guy like Zancanto or Igleheart would be cool. Vanilla is
offering something cool this year called the Speedmark or somethings. Its a
production run of 853 with some cool cross bits. That would be what I'd spend my
cash on the Vanilla production or a sycip. I'd say no to carbon rear end as it
kicks the price up a bunch. Make sure you get the cross bits: top mount cable
routes, a front derailleur pulley etc.cbOn Jun 12, 2007, at 1:14 PM, Bill
