AD:
Carbon, carbon, carbon! Brand new PedalForce cyclocross frame with parts
mix of new bike take-offs and lightly used parts. Frame was a warranty
replacement which was never previously built.

PedalForce is a reseller of frames sold under other manufacturer's labels,
manufactured in Taiwan (not China), just as Giant has done for years. Some
of their models are sold under Wilier and other manufacturers. Model is CX2
(http://pedalforce.com/online/product_info.php?products_id=21005). My main
cross bike for the last 4 years has been this model and I hate to sell it,
but need the cash.

Geometry: 53cm c-t, top tube 54.5cm, head tube 14.5cm, head tube angle
72.0deg, seat angle 73.5deg, wheelbase 101.2cm. Frame weight 1170g.
Total weight without pedals is 17.90 lbs, with solid aluminum wheels.

Parts as shown:
Shifter/brake levers and derailleurs: SRAM Force 10sp
Crank: FSA SLK-light carbon 172.5mm, 36-46 (have other rings)
Cassette: currently Shimano 12-25, also have SRAM 11-28
Chain: Shimano Ultegra
Brakes: Tektro wide-stance front, Oryx rear- combo gives more power and mud
clearance on front with better heel clearance on rear. Fork-mounted stop
eliminates chatter.
Bar-stem: Ritchey WCS 11cm, Logic wet white in 44cm
Post: Ritchey Pro carbon
Saddle: FSA ti
Wheels: Syncros Race (Scott house brand)
Tires: Michelin Mud 2

And to sweeten the deal: for an extra $300, will swap out the wheels for
FarSports (very reputable Chinese brand) carbon 50mm clinchers, 20/24h,
with ceramic bearings. Have 2 pair of their wheels, these are very
reliable, have ridden them in stage races and Race Across Oregon.
Deal is ONLY with bike, will not sell separately (reluctant to sell them at
all).

Bike is ready to toe the line out of the box, or switch out tires and use
as a gravel grinder, grand fondo ride or high-zoot commuter.
