Hey Chris,<br />
<br />
This is Andy, up in Chattanooga, (used to work at the Trek Store). Glad to see you on here and looking into cross bikes! Been riding much, or just playing on your motorized toys?<br />
<br />
My vote on a great clydesdale cross frame would be the Bailey also. They make amazing bikes and it would certainly stand up to some abuse.<br />

A fellow clyde here too... I swear by Ridley, I have an x-fire and a crosswind, little flex and they hold up great, had a jake the snake (original from '97) and it finally broke last year, small crack in the head tube. Remember a cross bike and cross racing is about finesse and handling, there is very little jumping like in MTB, think more urban city riding, hard accelerations and big hard fast stops, look at Paul brakes with Salmon pads, the MTB version from Harris, they will stop you nicely,…

As a fellow Clyde, who has broken a few frames, I would suggest you look at Bailey Bikes. I ride a Miniluv but they both are great frames. Jon the owner is easy to work with. Great frame and super stiff and yet comfortable.<br />

Chris, No one builds a better frame than Mark. Not a lot of bling but the quality is increditable. I have a ton of wheels. 303 zips, 404 zips, nimble flys, campy shamal, campy eurus, campy neutrons, etc. etc.... I ride campy so I can't use Kings but I have used them in the past and I love the hubs. If you have the money and want carbon, the Edge rims are pretty hot right now. If you want to save some money and go AL , I like Kinlin XR-300 rims. They are strong and light weight for the depth.

A custom built bike would be sweet! But I'm sure that you'd be fine with any standard aluminum or steel frame. I have a personal preference for Cannondales. Check out your LBS and see what they have.

Go customs, take a looks at Mark Nobilitte, he has been building clydesdale bikes longer than most bike builders have been walking. He has done Zinn's clydesdales and customes for Rivendell.
