For most cyclo-crossers, the off-season has arrived.
But it’s also a fact that we have to use this year’s experience as a springboard to start moving toward next year.
All things considered, having absolutely no time off is our kind of happy problem.
And so, with the snow continuing to fall since morning, we received some goods that arrived from far across the sea and from Saitama.
Masterpieces crafted by guys who are geniuses when it comes to having fun.

Stigmata CX Frame
Size : XS (TT:516mm / ST:521mm)
Color : Bare (Raw Finishing)
¥141,750 (Sorry without EDGE fork)
The Stigmata, a lightweight, high-rigidity CX frame unleashed by Santa Cruz Bicycles—renowned as the best in the business when it comes to letting you play in the dirt—has just arrived in stock. It uses EASTON EA6X aluminum tubing, keeping the weight down to 1,300g, but its rigidity, which won't lose out to even the strongest legs, will be a perfect match for those of you who believe in hard riding.
Go out and tear it up while boasting that you’re "absolutely insane."
And from SimWorks, who love niche markets, comes a new item that’s sure to get a few "hey, wait a minute" reactions from everyone.

Dirty RHONDA Stem
Length:70~110mm / Clump:31.8mm / Angle:80°
¥11,550
The Dirty RHONDA Stem, introduced as a new product by SimWorks. We took the classic RHONDA Stem and adapted it for CX use, equipping it as standard with cable stops for cantilever brakes on both the top and bottom of the stem body. I think you'll be very satisfied with the clean cable routing and ease of adjustment.
We're also planning to get some larger Hunter CX-Frames in soon.
The first FSCX of the year has been set for March 21st, after all.
We’re constantly exploring ways to help "unconventional" crossers grow in number.
If you’re willing to step up and say "I’m in," we’ll get excited and start proposing all sorts of products and events, so we appreciate your cooperation in every sense.
