[Closed] It's Titanium, it's red. It's TiRed's new cyclocross bike!

Everyone likes a cross bike build, it seems. So here are two of mine. The first one I've finally built up and is ready for Central League racing. Charge Titanium frame, Ritchey monocoque fork from a Swiss Cross (to match the road forks I have on another bike) It has Sram (red) carbon cranks, an Absolute Black (red) 38T (130 BCD - be careful ordering on their website as the default will be 110). It's running Gevenalle (red) 1x9 (12-32 Tiagra) and BURD rear derailleur, old Ksyrium wheels (tried for tubeless, but latex tubes at the moment),and the piece de resistance is the white TRP Revox Carbon brakes (thanks to jonjones from here).

It's really a 1x10, but it has the HOUP spacer (also red) and loses the 11T sprocket to provide more mud clearance. And yes you can shift all nine sprockets at the flick of a thumb. I'm just hoping that the silicon bartape really does wipe clean!

Much redness:

Brakes are a work of art! Thankyou Jon.

My username was actually based on my previous titanium Merlin road bike (not red), and the fact that I do have red hair. But now after having gone black for road, I now have the bike for the name.

You may recall that I started out buying a repainted Boardman CX Pro frame. Well, Boardman didn't know much about cross bikes, and that frame turned out to have much better road geometry, so it is now a very capable winter road bike. I may even race it at the Imperial Winter Series in tribute (it's their livery)

Not your average cyclocross bike!
