Notes:

I haven't seen a nicer Cross-Check. One of my first "dream builds". Love the midge bars and love the Brooks even more. I had a Brooks Professional on another bike and it absolutely did no work for me. I gave Brooks another shot and fell in love with the B17.

I'm building my boss a Cross Check at the moment. Nothing like a little pressure, lol. I showed him yours before we started; I am modeling his build almost entirely after yours. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say! What length is that stem?

thanks! I look forward to seeing how it turns out. Stem length is 110mm x 10* i believe. I later swapped it out for a 17* stem and cut the steerer tube a little shorter.
