Street Viper's Wraith Fabrications CX

Whilst out riding in Kyoto a couple of weeks ago we bumped in local CX legend Christoph AKA Street Viper and got a chance to shoot some pictures of his very cool custom Wraith Fabrication rig...

Every single part is dailed, Ergon saddle on a Thomson post with Avid canti's taking care of braking...

The Viper was in civilian mode so he was rolling on his non-race Bontrager wheels with Clement tyres. A freshly taped and shellacked chain stay keeping things tidy with the Sram drive...

The classic cross combination of Wolf Tooth ring & Crank Brothers pedals...

And a fresh roll of Fizik tape on the Ritchey bars...

Such a cool bike. A big thank you to the Street Viper for letting us shoot the bike and if you are lucky enough to see him in action out on the KNSCX circuit then give him an encouraging shout, an espresso or a beer! 

Kualis SSCX

Absolutely stunning Kualis single speed CX bike belonging to Nobuo Takao shot at the opening KNSCX race in Osaka...
