Do I need V brakes and therefore a new front fork with pins, or do those froggleg brakes do the trick?
Would a 'dale carbon road fork cope with dirt roads?
Campy or Shimano running gear?
Road or MTB saddle?
Anything else I need to know?

yeah, over the past few months we've discovered a billion and one awesome places for CX courses. getting permits has proven considerably more difficult...Uncle Just wrote:Good to hear. Incidentally found a natural venue for CX this morning on my pootle... Fairview Park in Hawthorn. Unfortunately for it to happen would need the wealthy burghers surrounding it to all have lobotomies!

They are currently creating a rail trail between where I live and where I work. 20km of hot mix and no vehicle danger. Have to watch for 'roos though.
