It happens once in a while…

It’s been some time since I’ve wanted a bike REALLY bad. Being part of the world of Media for Mountain Biking we’re exposed to so many different and wonderful bikes with all the bells and whistles. Heck some of them costs more than the value of my car…yah..sad isn’t it. But as the title says, it happens once in a while. I’ve been Single Speeding for about a year now and I simply love it.

I’ve often said to the guys around me that 29ers are cool, but if they were simply lighter I’d ride them more. Then I realized that there these bikes called Cyclocross…hmm novel idea. I thought the idea of Cross bikes are pretty awesome because it mixes the speed and stuff of road biking, but on dirt! So I for the longest time I’ve been wanting a single speed cyclocross bike…and guess what? BikesDirect has one called the Fantom Cross Uno for $399.99!

So this bike that you see before you is the bike that caught my attention…yes more so than the bikes with super duper suspension or carbon parts…
