Santa Cruz Stigmata - It's Alive!


Finally! A shipping debacle put things a little behind schedule, but she's ready to role! This is the first year for Santa Cruz making a cross frame. I've been a huge fan of there mountain bikes so I figured I couldn't go wrong.

Spec'd it out with SRAM Force, the new wet black Ritchey WCS cockpit and a set of Mavic Heliums provided to me by a friend at a generous price...I couldn't wait to get home from work today. The first trip was on the road and I can't believe how stiff and responsive it is. It could almost double as a crit bike.

Tomorrow morning brings the formal initiation at SeaTac. Is it cross season yet?
