Lynskey M290 Monster Cross

Here is the rig I've been running at UltraCX, endurance CX and gravel rides / races over 2013 / 2014.

Looks like you put a lot of thought into it.  I enjoyed thanks for sharing.  

Thats quite a build / race  bike !

You should be able to enjoy that,  for a couple decades

What was the final weight ?

FWIW - I run a lot of fire / forest service roads which is what I consider Monster Cross to be at least as far as the terrain / habitat.  I don't race others, rather I tour/enjoy/trek but......I am in my 50's now too.  When I run extra hard it's just against myself .

I have a set of Specialized 1.8" Renegades as well, awesome fire road tire. To bad they seem to have stopped making them down to 1.8".  Fire forest service roads........at least those where I live are quite a bit more gnarly than gravel grinder roads.

I like a little of everything thrown in.

Take care of that shoulder (really) it may come back to haunt you.......I write that from experience

Thanks
