Raleigh Rainier

I'm originally a Colorado kid at heart, but since I've moved to the Pac NW I've grown a fondness for the Beer From Here. And with the current state of Georgetown and the old Rainier Cold Storage building I've been on a rant as of late.

So to honor the the local brew, I came up with this Single Speed Cyclocross Bike to race this fall.

{Ahhhhhhh, finally}

{Force brake hoods and FSA at the helm}

{Rainier since 1884, Raleigh since 1887}

{Horizontal drop outs and double 39's up front to make it look mean}

{made for SS racing, nothing extra}

{Makes you want a Tall Boy, don't it?!}

I've been posting the parts as they've shown up and giving thanks to the companies helping me out with this project. But I'd like to say thanks again to FSA, TRP, Crank Brothers, Sella Italia, and Michelin. I'll extend my thanks here and here once the final pieces of this bike show up.



I was busy doing the 09 Photo Shoot last week (2009 is going to be quite a fun year around here!) so I haven't had a chance to really beat it up. But believe you me...this thing will be ridden hard, put away wet and will crash the 2009 SSCXWC with quite a Bang!
