Waterford X-11 Cyclocross

Waterford, originally uploaded by huckleburry.

Here is my current ride. I built this Waterford X-11 Cyclocross frame back in 1998 when I was an intern at Waterford Precision Cycles. I had some help, especially on the fork, droupouts, and braze-ons (thanks John), but I did the silver brazing on the frame more or less on my own.

For some reason I got the most hideos “rastafarian” red-yello-green paint job. The frame went into storage untill 2005 when I decided that the theft of my Surley presented a good opportunity to build up the frame. I had it powdercoated in Baby Blue by Spicer Cycles and built it up.

I will say, in an unbiased way, this is definiately the nicest riding frame I have ever had. Light, lively, and stiff. I wish it was a track frame. Oh well, hopefully I will race a couple cyclocross races this fall.
