2009 Blue Competition CXC carbon fiber cyclocross bike. Size L (see chart below)

I've raced this a bunch in the Chicago Cross Cup series. I'm a professional bike mechanic, so it has definitely been taken care of well. It is quite light (~17.5lbs) with included wheels, and could even be made lighter with a couple simple upgrades. This thing is awesome! Included is TWO tubular wheelsets, both awesome for racing. One is a set of carbon tubular wheels that are great for racing drier courses. Included is the pictured set of Vittoria tubular tires - used once! The other is pictured on the bike, a set of wheels for muddier conditions. These are wheels I built up on vintage Ambrosio rims. They have a set of Challenge Grifo tires glued on that I raced with for about a season. They easily have another season in them! Super grippy when it gets slippery!

This all was just appraised for an insurance company at $5141. This is a great deal!! I have a bunch of the stats listed below, but please inquire with more specific questions, or to stop by for a test ride.

$2500 OBO

NOTE: A couple changes from the photo - crankset, saddle.

Crankset - FSA SL-K carbon 46-38
Shifters/brake levers - SRAM Force
RD - Force
Saddle - Blue
Seatpost - Truvativ carbon
Wheelset 1 - Ambrosio Montreal tubular rims with ultralight hubs, Challenge Grifo tires
Wheelset 2 - Carbon 50mm tubular rims with Ritchey hubs (seen in last photo), Vittoria file tread tires (not photo'd)
Brakes (front) - Avid Shorty Ultimate

I also have for sale a Mavic Aksium wheelset I had used for training. It would be $150 extra (and I think I've got cross tires with it).

I am 5'10" and this fits me well. I'd recommend a user height of ~ 5'8" - 6'0"
