I'm picking up my new cross bike today! I've built it out differently than Davide Frattini [his bike pictured], but I'm getting the Blue carbon cross frame and fork. I really wanted something lightweight so I wouldn't hurt myself picking it up and running with it. Tomorrow is the xXx cross clinic, so hopefully I'll learn some approximation of the flying dismount.
What color bar tape should I get? I'm sick of black.

Lightweight Blue Cross Bike. I'm jealous.
I'd recommend bright red for handlebar tape.
As it fades to greasy black from the red with cyclocross mud, training rides, and bike lube it looks pretty cool.
Tamara, good choice in cross bike...:) I raced the frame all of last year. Just make sure to get a nice lightweight pair of wheels (tubulars for traction and cornering). It's easy to shed about 1-2 pounds there. Enjoy!
