Shige’s Bike Part 2.

Hunter CX

 

Shige’s Bike Part 2.

 
The next bike I’d like to introduce is the one that gets put through the most action.
I started riding this bike when I was promoted to the C2 class in the Kansai Cyclocross series, and even now that I've been promoted to C1, it’s still in full active service.
Last season, I had it repainted and took the liberty of naming it the "Hunter SimWorks CX Team" colorway. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

While it is a race bike, it’s also my partner for daily commuting and weekend rides. When the road bike I introduced earlier picks up something on its radar that’s just a bit too rough for a road bike, that’s when this one comes into play.
During the CX season, I swap in my Hed Belgium & Chris King R45 wheels. And for tires, it’s got to be Dugast, of course.
