This week I bought a deadstock canti CX frame from the Bikesdirect outlet Bikeisland. I knew it would be old but was still surprised at just how old it was, 2009.
Seems like a few things survived the COVID boom. Half a dozen 56 frames just hanging around in a warehouse for 15 years. These would have cleared eBay for twice what they’re selling for now, in 2020/2021. I wonder what else is still out there?

I know Alpha-Q had some like this
TC given how easy it can be to induce a “ring of death” on a carbon steerer, I wouldn’t mind some more abrasion resistance on high end road/gravel forks.
true, some have an aluminum ring at the crown race
it just seems silly to use carbon legs or nice steel and then an absolute gas pipe steerer
