.....And here is the replacement!

Haven't had a new bike for a while, so it had to be something different!

I'm ready for some pain! and the commute.

Model: Specialized Comp Disc Apex
Weight: As Pictured 9.4kg
Size: 49cm
Specs (For Now):
- SRAM Apex running gear
- Avid BB7 disc
- Everything else is pretty standard.

Future Plans:
- Replace heavy ass wheels with something custom
- Contact Points replaced with Deda Zero stuff
- Cranks, Possibly a compact set of SiSL (Mixing Specialized with Cannondale...hahaha)
- When Hydro road disc comes along.....a set of those.

There's like a fluoro blue/yellow and a touch of red version of this which are way cooler but I'll forgive you for not getting that one. What did you get it for? Riding lotus ?

Off road test next!

Sorry for a noob question, is this a cyclecross bike? they can run disc brakes now?
Looking great by the way, something different.

Yep it's a Cyclocross.

There are a few from different manufacturers now......but i still don't think it's UCI legal...not that i care...hahah

Looks like a lot of fun. Interested to hear how it goes offroad, and what its limitations are.

THis went really well at the Oaks. It was bumpy as expected, but wasn't ask bad as i thought it'll be.

Initially ran it at 45psi (I'm 65kg) and it was a bit too harsh everywhere...Dropped it down the 35psi and it was sweet as! I think i can drop another 2-3 psi cause i'm not that heavy.

Braking on the hoods needs some getting use to as it's harder to keep the hands planted.

Only bad moment i had was when i hit a rut while travelling 35+km/h it was pretty jaring and had to brake hard to recover.

Other than that....smashing it back down the oaks was so rewarding!

This is awesome.

I'm becoming more and more tempted to get one, but none of the brands we stock do a disc brake cx bike. Hopefully for 2013 that will change.

Is it a press fit bb or threaded?
