Dream cross - part 1

And then we have the parts for my new cross. I am far from finished yet but this is a start.

The crankset is an FSA Gossamer which I had bought last December. It is the usual compact 50-34 because they did not have the cross-specific 46-36 but honestly last season was just fine going through the 34 and a range of 4 gears on the back. I think this is high enough for a cross to start with but maybe I will change it later on.

The gears are Shimano Ultegra 6700 which is the updated 2010 edition. I have the shifters, back derailer and chain so far. I need to see the frame before I get the front derailer. And the cassette is a 105 since it is just going to get full of sand and crap anyway.

The handlebars and seat are Ritchey's WCS series with their nice world champion colours and good reputation. White because the frame is black and red. So...next is the frame. It should be here any day now...

Naturally the stem should be white to follow the pattern. =) But I am not sure. The frame is black with the Ridley stripes in red so it will probably be a black stem.
