Not a single strand of carbon fiber. If Jon at Sabrosa or Tony at Pereira were mass producing bikes in Taiwan I imagine they’d look something like the All-City Nature Boy.
Internal cable routing, integrated seat post collar and sexy drop-outs will now be mandatory features on all my future bikes. The lugged fork and head tube badge are unexpected bonus details.
You get a lot of cool stuff for about as much coin as a fancy carbon crankset. And, most importantly, I find myself looking for any excuse to take it out for a ride.
The only niggle to all the swag: it’s heavy. I don’t really want to know how much it weighs. Admittedly, I only notice the weight when hefting it up and down 3 flights of stairs every time I go for a ride, which, seems like several times a day now.
Available at your NBS (Neighborhood Bike Shop) in my case, the awesome crew at Roscoe Village Bicycles.
holler.
great looking pony. I am currently whipping up a one speeder cx frame for myself. funny – it looks a lot like that’n.
Next year! Gonna debut the Sabrosa SSCX in Chicago. It’ll be our Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall project. Unless you’re backed up til 2013.
i’m in.
Another fine product from the MPLS. My Sabrosa cx’er is much sexier though. Just sayin ‘…
