What is the front derailleur clamp size on the Cross-check?

Can't find it anywhere, my frame is on the way, and I need to order a
derailleur.

Nebbermind. Found it in the Quality catalog (well, to be honest, it was QBP
by proxy: thanks R.B.Tech).

Wanted to build up my Cross Check for under a grand...including Kryptonite
Locking skewers and NY Chain, the damn thing was 1300. You only live once.

Dude. Why would you want a [censored] derailleur on a fine steed like a Crosscheck?

Heh. I was tempted - briefly - to set up SS, but it's my school commuter,
so I carry 10-20 extra pounds in books every time out, and the area has
_just_ enough hills to work up a sweat. So what's wrong with that? I don't
want to be all drippy in lecture. And, those hills + extra weight +
singlespeed gearing = extra force on my already hashed knees. No good.

Also, I'm gonna buy a cheapo Nashbar wheelset for skinny tires so the
Cross-Check can be my road bike, too. And nobody rides centuries on a SS.

I'm a half-assed techie, too. SSs just aren't me.

(does agree the Cross-Check is a fine steed though)

They don't? I've seen guys ride centuries on beach cruisers and I believe
one of the guys featured in Pete's Arizona videos did one on a 20" BMX.

Hee. Don't go all Travis on us now, man. ;-)

Feh. I saw a guy do the New York City Century on a unicycle.

Now _this_ is a valid reason. Enjoy the Crosscheck. They're magnificent bikes.
