I've been coveting the bikes of my neighbors for some time - http://vimeo.com/19554917
Well maybe not that long, but it hit me one day that dropbars, while in the drops, are a more natural position for my hands. At least when I am not in a full aero road position. That's the theory anyway. They call it Monstercross - drop bars and 700c wheels with larger than CX tires but not quite 29ers.
So..."I need a Monster to love!" Maybe something like this:
I set out to rectify the situation. I acquired a frame with curves and plenty o tubes on the ebays. It is in transit with the man in Brown and I collected a pile of parts that are waiting not so patiently in the corner. Soon the cauldron will boil and my new creation will be born!! More details and pics to follow...
