I'm pretty sure Justin got his bike built for last weekend.

He raced the bike both days this last weekend.....I dig the color, kinda translucent purple

Here's my Spooky Supertouch part-build, it's deliberately a bastard child mix of parts and yes, I'm keeping the flat bars!

Since taking these pics it's had a red CK headset fitted and everything else dialled in.

Will be christened with its first ride next weekend, huzzah!

I'm contemplating a TCX frame to replace the Origin 8. I will wait a short bit, but will likely do it this fall.

is the foxtrot a good cross frame? i haven't looked into them too much i just know other origin 8 frames are lower end.

I raced the Foxtrot last year and I liked it. The frame isn't as stiff as my Scott Addict or aluminum/scandium bikes but that was part of the reason I wanted it. The bike provided a nice, cushy, ride. The things I didn't like were the lack of refinements, ie no barrel adjusters built into the frame, I didn't care for the cable routing, and it was a hard bike to get to shift properly.

One that is offensive to cross racers

looks like Ringle post, stem and H2O cage.

Are those R-Sys that I see there?

Zooka baby! No way can those be offensive to anyone who's been into MTB for a while.

And speaking of, man, those brakes bring me back!
I very much approve of this bike.
Except the wheels.

Looks more like a show/city bike than something that will be raced?

word, well depending on funds at the end of the season, chances are ill stick with a cheaper steel frame probably like a soma or surly, maybe even a voodoo, im not as concerned with weight as much as durability and ride. steel is real has worked for me in the past, i can't see it failing anytime soon
