My heart beats now on Cyclo Cross Bikes. The sound is kind of low - Basso

Don't have any exact data of this bike, but my previous cyclo cross was Basso Devil, a aluminum frame build with Campa 10 speeds. This carbon Fast Cross looks great, but typically the frame size chosen to photoshoots is too small to be beatifull. I'll find you some more details and maby I can find one for test drive. But still - my winter ride is Colnago Cross Prestige - like Sven Nyis do.

Finnish CycloCross Championships in Helsinki, Kontula

One should work in leading Finnish Pro Bike shop if want to win. Kimmo Kananen won the Elite Finnish CycloCross Champinship 2010 after doing the same thing last year. Open Hobby Class, 30 minutes competition was won by Kökä - another Velosport guy. Concratulations Kimmo & Kökä. Couldn't have better super-adivisors in group rides! Unfortunately I only saw last 20 minutes of the elite race. Really nice track for spectatros. But where was Eurosport or Yle, National Broadcast Company of Finland?
