I accumulated a whole lotta crud on my bike over the last two weeks…time for a little wipe-down.

Mosaic Cycles was established in 2009 by frame builder Aaron Barcheck out of Boulder, Colorado. He’s currently offering custom road, track, mountain and Di2 bicycles in titanium or steel. This Mosaic steel ‘cross bike here is a fine example of some of his work, check out the rest of his offerings here and be sure to browse the details below. Those gold Paul Neo-Retros are hot, now all this bike needs it some dirt!

Ritte Racing: Crossberg

Ritte Racing Crossberg

The Ritte Crossberg is bound to be one of the lightest and stiffest carbon ‘cross frames out there for the 2011 season. Even though you’ve already missed the beginning of the season, I’d keep an eye on this beast. It’s sub-1160 grams for a 54 cm frame and those massive chain stays and downtube mean you’ll be transferring way more juice to those cranks and still get a reasonably supple ride.

See another shot below as well as a photo of their limited run, stainless/carbon ‘cross machine: The Steeplechase.

Firefly posted a teaser of their newly built Embrocation ‘cross bike last week that seemed to have everyone drooling over this photo – pretty provocative for a rear bike shot if you ask me. You already know Firefly’s game, so make sure to have a better look at this ‘cross machine below.

Firefly Bicycles

You’re probably already drooling by now, but if you’ve made it this far this is a ti ‘cross frame from Firefly Bicycles being shipped overseas for Eurobike. Just as Embrocation said, these keep coming out better and better! I can’t wait to see how this looks built. See the whole bunch Firefly’s Facebook page.

Soma Double Cross Cyclocross Bike

Soma Double Cross

A little while ago I posted some photos of my San Lorenzo before I stripped the parts and hung the frame (for now). Since then I’ve been riding my Soma Double Cross for a couple weeks through all sorts of different terrain that wouldn’t have been rideable on my Bianchi. Dirt roads, single track, and the smooth ride of steel have me hooked on this bike. Although, I’m still not sure the race bike is retired-it’s just a different beast I’ll put on ice for a bit.

I pretty much swapped all the parts from my road bike to the Soma and picked up a Chris King headset, TRP Eurox Canti’s, and some 28c Rubino Pro’s.

Van Dessel Full Tilt Boogie

Van Dessel ‘cross frames have always been a hot item and the relatively new Full Tilt Boogie just makes that reputation stronger. Full carbon, tapered head tube, BB30 and full of style. See the rest of the photos below and read about the bike here. ‘Cross season is coming up, what’re you riding?
