post your bike!
Here's mine, this is my first year racing SS but I've been riding/racing cross in general 4 years now. A buddy talked me into it, and frankly I'm glad to have gotten the bug. Once I started looking for a ride I was pretty stoked to find that specialized makes a cheap aluminum SS bike with their carbon fork (900 retail). Turns out the bike has track width stays, so I went ahead and ordered a pair of the tubular mavic/formula wheels here on ebay from my local shop ( http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-MAVIC-TRACK-WHEELSET-WHEELS-700C-TUBULAR-FI...|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ) then a pair of t34s from worldclasscycles.com for 80 shipped to my door! ( http://www.worldclasscycles.com/tufo_pro_cyclocrooss.htm ) then procured a proper saddle and bar for it (Bro had saddle laying around, bar is a ritchey pro takeoff sitting in a bin at my local shop). The bar that comes with singlecrosses from spesh is like a 44 or something way big, plus I just like the way ritchey bars feel.
All in all I am pretty happy with this rig, and with racing SS in general. I have about 1050 in the whole bike, and the only thing I am not perfectly happy with is the hoods on the long pull tektro levers. The brakes work so well, I can't see myself changing them out though. AFAIK no one makes a long pull road lever besides tektro, and this is the model so I'm SOL. I have pauls and campy on my geared cross bike and the braking is just so much more awesome on this setup...
Post your rides guys!

I've got the same bike, a singlecross. I like the controls, but I've been wanting to upgrade the wheels. What are your impressions of the wheels? I'm wanting an upgrade and those seem like a decent deal.

Mine is a budget SS racer that I'm trying out this season (my second)
-'94 GT Bravado LE frame that I welded home made track style dropouts on a few years ago for SS mtb
-29er takeoff wheels from my new Redline Monocog. I removed the seat and chainstay bridges cause it's a 26er frame
-Nashbar mechanical discs. I had to mod my frame to use discs but the end of a carpenters framing square works great-Nashbar AL fork with disc tabs
-Maxxis mud wrestler tires
-Fizik Alliante saddle
-Egg beaters
-Cane creek levers and headset
-Original XT crankset
I think I spent about $250 on brakes, tires and the fork. Everything else I had in the garage.
