Keep the MC. Save $$ and get the CX bike next year. You'll regret selling....

Should I sell the White Brothers F150 Fluid through-axle fork I have? hmmmm

I think you should sell it....gather someones hard earned money and then wait 3 years before sending them the bike.

I didn't read the OP as spam, but I guess you did. Is there a good reason for your post, aside from the obvious feeling you gotta get your 2c worth in?

Sell it and buy 2 matching cyclocross bikes with 105 or Veloce componentry. It would be better for cross racing.

Alright, I give. What exactly is "monstercross"? From what I can tell it appears to be a cyclocross bike with larger tires. If that's the case how does it differ from a fully rigid 29er MTB? Drop bars vs. flat bars, anyting else?

Do not sell

Good cross frames and road stuff are cheap on ebay. You only need a light alu frame and tubular wheels for sure.
I would not sell MC unless you can get a lot for it.

Sell it and pick up the bike you want, and will ride more. Life is too short to have it hanging around in your garage collecting dust when there is someone else out there that will ride it and enjoy it.

If you can afford it, then buy what you want and stimulate the economy.

Keep it. Save your ducats and buy a nice stock bike next year. The Redline Conquest is a great deal at $1700, with full Rival and really good parts.

Why not just get some really nice light wheels and a couple of other components to make the MC into a respectable racer? You will DEFINATELY regret selling it for a flavor-of-the-month cyclocross bike. Will a 2 lb lighter cross race bike really make you that much faster? I think not!

NOTE to all who worry: IF I decide to sell it, I will buy my ad just like I have done in the past, then I will put in a HUGE post announcing it.

the geometry is different

matt built it as a drop bar fixie but with canti studs. i did race it in 07 and had a SS primus mootry built and it handles way different, so i was going to get a matching bike but with gears since i will be racing with the 1,2,3's next year. i have a number of light tubulars.

thanks for all the input guys, i knew where to go for help!
