It's new for 2014

It's built by Brodie

It has metallic piss-coloured paint

It's hand-welded, light-weight steel

They brought back the Gator-blade fork

It's light

It's call the Monster

Cyclocross bikes rock

Dear Paul Brodie. I've owned two of your bikes. This may well be my third.

You may have one of my children as a deposit.

I don't hate it, but I might be a bit of a Campy snob.

That's sexy. I like it. Oh how I wish I could afford a sweet bike. I'm trying to buy a sweet 1985 Puch right now. I wish bikes were cheaper.

'tis a beauty!

I actually just bought a cyclocross bike. I have mostly just been into MTB until now, but I am trying to get in some more biking time, so I bought a cross bike to ride on weekdays in the morning before work. There are some decent urban trails near me that I can ride to fairly quickly that give a good mix of on- and off-road terrain. So far I am loving it. I may even try to enter a cross race or two sometime soon.

We all have our preferences. I was a teenager/early twenties growing up in Vancouver when Paul Brodie created the first sloped-top-tube mountain bike. I've loved his bikes ever since.

When I was deciding on a road bike, I almost picked this just for the color scheme.

Nice. I love Lefty. If C'dale would license Lefty to other bike builders I would be a happy happy man.
