Wanted a Crust Nor’Easter but wasn’t sure I could swing the price so I picked up this Trek frame and sunk just as much into it…
Edit: also, really dig the look of the Singular Cycles Peregrine MK3

Nice bike….. but…. That front mech needs adjusting to so it works better. The front mech outer cage should be a lot lower and closer to the outer chainring to avoid the chain over-shifting and dropping off the ring. I know it’s an xbike and anything goes but it looks like a triple chainring front mech on a double chainring chainset – it will work but can be setup to work much better.

This thing is SO good. I wanna ride it.
Conti Town & Country tires last FOREVER.
Logic cranks for the win.
Nice ride. There’s something about the shape of the gap between the rear wheel and the seat tube on 26er’s that just makes me happy.
Beauty. Those frames are known to ride nice. Enjoy
