The "Perfect" Bike Comes Back from Cyclocross Magazine


Everyone once and a while you build a bike that stands out as a little bit better. Not just better brazing or paint, but one that sums up the reason you started building bikes to begin with - that elusive "Perfect" bike. While no bike is perfect, this one is pretty damn good. So damn good that I almost had to wrestle this fillet brazed  "Monster Cross" Bruce Gordon bike back from Andrew Yee, Editor of Cyclocross Magazine http://www.cxmagazine.com/ (who has lovingly had it in his possession for...a while).

He said it was the "Perfect" bike for him, and was sorry he didn't have the money to buy it.

Now that we have it back, we've decided to put it up for sale. Spec'd as is, this bike would set you back a cool $5700.

You can steal buy this one after a short road test for $4500 - It is super clean, and barely used.
