If there’s one thing that Portland knows best it’s cyclocross. Well that and maybe coffee. Coffee, cross and bikes. The Speedbloggen has a stuffed to the brim post today about the 2011 cross bikes and included in the mix is this shot of one of the Vanilla fork crowns. Who says steel is dead? Would ya look at that thing! So nice. It comes from the Pacenti Cycle Design and is an homage to the old Ritchey mountain crowns. Columbus steerer too. Check out more photos here.
