Quality Frame With A Mid Level Group Set Pair Wonderfully, Creating One Heck of a Ride!
The Cross-Check has been good to us. No secret why. It's because it's been good to you. Why do people like it so much? Well for starters, it's steel. Steel rides like nothing else (when was the last time you saw a spring made of aluminum?), takes a lot of crap, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Then we threw dowwwwwn some good ideas, like semi-horizontal dropouts with a derailleur hanger, our FFF stays so you can run big, fat tires (even with fenders), long-popular measurements for things like front derailleur clamp and seatpost, and our Gnot-Rite rear spacing that takes mountain and road hubs.
What does all this mean to you? Options, kid, that's what. Get yer freak on. Gears? Great. Single speed? No sweat. Commuter? Touring bike? Grocery getter? Bring it on. Or build it as a bonafide 'cross bike and race it.
It likes it. Best of all, it's actually affordable. You'll need to ask your local shop what they'll charge you, but suffice to say that it is among the most affordable of well-designed, well-built frames around. Whether it's the latest addition to your herd or the only bike you own, the Cross-Check will amaze you with its comfort, versatility and affordability.
We have placed Microshifts new do it all groupset. Microshift SWORD 2x10 groupset.
We believe the world still needs a really good cable-actuated group.
That’s where Sword comes in. It has modern ergonomics, wider cassette range for big climbs, and a fully mechanical design that’s easy to service and adjust.
A Zipp SL 80 bar with Zipp bar tape make your hands feel really comfortable.
Shimano Hubs on Alex rims wrapped in Continental Grand Prix 4 seasons complete the build.
What we ended up with is one great riding commuter or touring bike.
FOR SOLID GRIP
BRAKE LEVER
To deliver more leverage and reduce reach, we moved the brake lever pivot point to a higher position on the shifter body.
We also updated the design to pull slightly more cable than a standard road lever, giving you a little extra braking power when you need it.
Climbing is hard work, there’s no way around it. But, you can make it easier on yourself with the gearing you choose. At this point in drivetrain history, compact doubles are a little bit old school. Modern gravel groups are pushing lower gears to help maintain cadence even when the road gets steep, and Sword is firmly in that new-school camp.
Sword 2x has a low gear 24% lower than a compact road double. Sword 1x with a 40t chainring goes 17% lower. Whether you’re bike-packing or riding a Tour de France stage, this extra gear range will help you get to the end of the ride in one piece.
We have this one priced to move. Get it before it is gone.
