We’re checking out the bike Logan VonBokel rode at baby masters (Nationals lingo for the 30-34 age group) this year, a titanium Sage PDXCX. After reading the mantra of Sage‘s founder, David Rosen, I want a Sage too. The guy is speaking my language, a ti bike, built in the US and designed to last decades. The frame boasts; clearance for up 42mm tires, ovalized and shaped tubing for race ready performance, 44mm headtube for precision steering, stealth fender mounts, top tube cable routing protects your shifter and brake lines from potential contamination when the conditions get muddy.
