Groundskeeper


This is our "classic" cross bike. What does that mean? Tough to say these days will all the new sub-niches being created every day. Basically cross racers want to be able to fit up to a 35c tire, a standard 53/39 road crank, and keep the geometry tight but stable. The Groundskeeper obliges. With the popularity of 40c+ tires it's easy to overlook a bike like this. But if you really don't run bigger than 35c tires, The Groundskeeper is a slightly lighter and more nimble alternative to the Dirtbomb.
