The 2013 Diamondback Steilacoom is the perfect embodiment of everything Northwest. Its well-equipped to tackle any single track, mud field, sand pit, staircase, hurdle or inclement weather between the starting gate and the finish line. At the core is the DBR RCX Fully Butted 7005 Alloy Competition Cyclocross frame with formed top tube and an integrated headtube. The frame is light and durable which is something that we look for in a cross bike. The formed top tube features a flat bottom for easy portage over any hurdle. Paired well with the frame is a DBCX Carbon fork thats exceptionally strong and stiff. With a carbon steerer and clearance for larger tires and fenders, the fork is a versatile and exceptional addition. Component pairing comes in hot and proper with a Shimano 105 build including chain, front and rear derailleur and dual control 10spd brake lever/shifters which are linked to Tektro CR710 cantis to stop ya on the drop of a dime. The FSA Gossamer PRO Cross crankset is standard as far as cross cranks are concerned and the BB30 technology offers a light weight and exceptionally stiff pedaling platform for the 46t & 36t double set. The 2013 Steilacoom RCX is blacked out and comes in four sizes: 50cm, 53cm, 56cm, 59cm. Whether you are looking for a true dedicated and capable cross bike for the season or are simply looking for an adept and stable commuter, there is no reason to look further.
