Cross My Heart...

With the changing of the seasons from summer into fall a sense of anticipation fills the air for many cyclists. While centuries and single track riding during the summer is certainly breathtaking, both literally and figuratively, the fall season offers something more genre bending. Geometry similar to a traditional road bike but tire clearance and components that make the bike more versatile when it comes to varied terrain, the cyclocross (or cross bike for short) holds a special place in the heart of many.

Cross races are some of the most exciting to watch and the riders are truly the baddest of the bad in the cycling world. I've never seen a clean shoe or shin after a cyclocross race. Typically the face isn't safe from the mud either. CrossVegas which runs in conjunction with Americas largest cycling trade show, Interbike, is an extremely popular race which will receive television air play during the months of October and November for anyone who is interested in catching the action.

We at Randall Scott are excited to see this less mainstream form of cycling take off and have noticed that many people and companies are being lured into enticing and exciting world of cyclocross. We even caught a sneak peak of a Tommaso cyclocross bike at the Tommaso Bikes Facebook Fan Page. According to the caption the carbon beast will see some race action this season. We hope it goes well so we can get our hands on one of our own, and hopefully a grip of them to make available to you too.
