To compliment my geared bike, Paul at Rock Lobster built me an identical scandium singlespeed cross frame. The geometry is the same though the second bike is equipped with Ahren's sliding dropouts.  Like my first bike, there is an gold theme found throughout the bike and complete weighs in a 17 even. 

For sometime now, I have been sitting on a late 90's ZIPP wheelset.  The rear freehub was in bad shape so they have see little use over the last couple years.  Thankfully Paul Components makes a bolt on flip-flop hub drilled 24 hole.  This wheelset will double as race wheels once I get out on the velodrome.

Fresh and ready to be glued.  Easton EC90 SLs could be the best all-around wheelset for cross.

I believe it is made by Surly. It works pretty well although there is no cable adjust. I recently installed a Paul Components Funky Monkey hanger, in gold of course. http://www.paulcomp.com/fmfront.html
