Handmade Cyclocross Bike: Adam's Miles Cycle

This is cool, some posh components on a rusty custom made frame! Check out below...

"Hello! Wanted to submit my cyclocross bike to your gallery.

Handmade by my good friend Joshua Thayer in the sketchiest part of San Francisco: Hunters Point! He works under the name Miles Cycles but has never had any proper decals on his bikes. Its just a long time hobby.

Mix of Columbus tubing, fillet brazed. It was never painted as I was too impatient to get out and ride the thing, and havent been able to part with it long enough to strip it down and have it taken care of. Hence the rusty finish (note how my legs keep the top tube nice and shiny!)

KCNC Skewers still available

If you saw on Nathan's Stigmata he was running the KCNC skewers which weigh a scant 45 grams for the pair (about 80 grams lighter than Dura-Ace for the WW's among us).

Lightweight Cyclocross Bike: Bill's October

Well here's a contribution for both the lightweight and hand made galleries. This wonderful custom Ti frame was created by my good friend Andrew at October Hand Made in Lynn, MA (www.rideoctober.com)

It weighs less than 18 pounds but I can't remember exactly how much. This bike really rocks! It has just the right balance of stiffness and flexibility to make even the toughest courses comfortable. It's very agile yet stable in tricky situations. I was fortunate enough that Andrew let me have a lot input on the bike. He humored me through the process.
