it's pathetic really. cycling innovation came to an end 19 years ago and the industry, finally catching up, is simultaneously crashing to its knees because they fuck up the formula
cycling is about cross checks, cross check enthusiasts, and cross check accesories. That's the core of cycling and few industry heads are starting to realize this
One could very well start a business catering specifically to cross check modder community. They are constantly removing and adding pieces to their frames, due to their astouding versatility. Literally a blank, perfect canvas that makes every build idea you have play out into a perfect rig
and it lasts forever. the frame cannot die. they are almost never sold unless the owner needs cash fast. they are just that good. Surly tried to update it with discs on the straggler and God smited them for their arrogance, having already given them his most perfect vision for the bicycle. Thereupon the release of the Struggler the dropouts snapped again and again until they were twisted into the mostrosities they are today. You cannot improve upon perfection, only bask in it.
The Cross-Check is the alpha and the omega
You must own one. If you do not, you are not a cyclist. You are a worm. You are garbage riding garbage with a garbage mind and garbage soul. Reject not the Cross. Nail yourself to it. Buy three. The holy trinity: Fixed. Commuter. Adventure. Then you will see. Then you will unlock the truth. And you will be free. Finally
