Plus One Lap used to be all about cyclocross, now it's my dumping grounds for anything cycling.

What's up with that bottom bracket drop?!?!
It has a lower bb height than most cyclocross bikes, since most courses aren't truly off-road in the same sense as for mountain bikes races, I'm taking full advantage of lower center of gravity which helps with tight turns that we see at most races.
Hard to believe that baby doesn't go sub 18 with the K's. Are the Salsa parts that heavy?
Hmmm, you may be on to something there...
