A New Begining

I was sitting in my dorm room last night, bored to tears, and there has been a lot of things happen lately that I would love to share with anyone who cares to listen. For example the cyclocross bike I just put together.

Last month I was reading cyclingnews and some blogs about cyclocross races. The more I read the more I became interested in doing some cyclocross races, so I bought a frame and some parts off ebay and a guy named Nor help me put it together. The whole bike only put me back $500, which I think is a steal. The bike is a Motobecane with 105 shifters and rear derailleur, a FSA Gossamer compact crank, and a pair of Mavic XP30 wheels from my brother. One funny story about my bike, I ordered the handlebars, stem, brakes, and seatpost from one person off of ebay and as an added bonus he gave me the left crank arm of Truvativ Rouleur, so anybody reading this need a left crankarm let me know.
