Built to Fit :: Mosaic GBL CX Goes to NAHBS

.
Working with Mosaic Cycles in Boulder, Colorado on the GBL CX has been one of the neatest experiences in my cycling career.   Framebuilder Aaron Barcheck’s knowledge combined with that of Chris Soden, Master Bike Fitter and owner of Pro Peloton Cyclery, we were fortunate to have the best advice around.  Chris and I had several conversations about the bike fit, components that would work best for a small woman like myself to race cyclocross and of course, how it was [...]

After weeks of waiting to learn more, Sarai and I finally had to threaten Jason Montano [...]

But not just any piece of cold steel between my legs would do. I wanted something [...]
