As you can see,
it's just an ordinary Surly Cross-Check.
If I had to point something out,
it would just be to say,
"Oh, what a nostalgic color." It's a gray color that has remained firmly popular.
I'm sure there are still people out there who want one.
Simple with gray and blue, isn't it?
With a 3x9 drivetrain, you can zip along anywhere.
It features STI levers, making shifting a breeze.
You can also attach mudguards and a rack.
And the price you’re curious about is ￥138,000.
The size is 46cm only.
Naturally, since it is a cyclocross bike,
it is race ready.
Speaking of races,
at the end of this month,
there is the Nobeyama Cyclo.
The course is laid out on a ranch.
Food and drinks will be provided, so
I think watching the race while eating and drinking
will be quite the spectacle.
From what I hear,
they are planning this race over the long term;
next year they hope to get UCI registration to make it easier for international riders to participate,
revitalize the cyclocross scene in the Kanto region,
and they even have their sights set on hosting the All-Japan Championships in the near future.
We who organize FSCX
can't just sit around (laughs).
Since it’s held only once every spring,
we have the desire to do it a few times a year,
and I think we'd like to hold it soon.
Also, from our shop, Circles,
CRC (Circles Racing Club) members
Makoto and Izuru are scheduled to participate.
Let's have them pedal with all their might
and get covered in mud.
Oh, and please buy a cowbell for me while I stay behind (laughs).
Oops, I’ve gotten off track, but
this ordinary Cross-Check
is an all-purpose bike that can transform into anything
depending on the rider.
Especially for those considering buying a sports bike for the first time,
or those who don't know what to buy,
please let the Circles staff talk to you.
You’ll surely fall in love with it.

Average is fine.
