It's a 2010 Fuji Cross Pro cyclocross bike - I went for a cyclocross bike as at the time I was the wrong side of 20 stone and thought that the wider tyres would be better than an out and out road bike.
It's a double butted aluminum frame with carbon fork with aluminium crown.
It's running on a SRAM Rival groupset with an FSA Gossamer Cross MegaExo chainset running 46 & 36 teeth chainrings. Wheels are Alex ALX-320 and were originally shod with Ritchey SpeedMax Cross tyres.
There are few changes to the bike compared the picture.
Firstly a crack appeared in the forks so I now have a pair of plain carbon forks fitted (still the same type though).
Tyres have changed to Continental Ultra Gatorskins as I wore the Ritchey's out in 800 miles - they've made a massive difference on the ride of the bike as it rolls along faster and there is much more grip when cranked over in the corners.
I also have a Specialized Pave seat post fitted with a Zertz insert that absorbs road vibration. I didn't fit this for that reason but because when I bought the bike the shop had scratched the supplied seatpost so fitted it as a replacement.
I've also fitted a pair of Time ATAC MTB pedals as theses been I can walk in the shoes with looking like a duck.
