First Rocky Mountain for +1lap? Looks great:
Hi, love your site. Best way to waste time is looking at bikes, when you aren't riding them.
Here's my submission for the sub-18lb 'cross bike gallery. I wanted a bike from a Canadian company, and liked the colour scheme on this model. As I am primarily a duathlete and TTer, this is also my road bike. With decent road wheels and tires it gives up little to my road bike and consequently I ended up selling the road bike. I use standard compact gearing as I need the 50T on the road.
It comes in at 17.2 lbs.

Nice bike. Can't beat old school aluminium for a cross frame. Not riden the Vitoria Evo XG but they look good All Round Cyclocross Tires.
Just a shame there's that giant carbon spacer on top of the stem. A simple 5mm would have looked so much cleaner.
