Step forward the sixth dCROIS to grace the fields of Scottish ‘cross. After months of slavering over the other Albannach rides in the mystic, SRACX team Da’ Col Moulson has jumped in for a custom big yin of a dCROIS specially designed for his lofty needs.
Colin went for internal cable ducting for the rear disc brake (DT > CS), front derailer (DT) and rear derailler (TT > SS) to optimise shifting durability with the brake cable (hose) routing aligned specifically for a LHD (UK style) setup.
No bottle cage holes also meant that we could adopt the single ‘albannach’ graphic covering most of the upperside of the downtube. A wee #unicrois on the seat tube to finish it all off.
The build
Colin is a Campagnolo man, which can be a difficult taste to satiate in the world of ‘cross. As a result, there isn’t a group set as such…

The name
dCROIS /krɔʃ/ pronounced cross – in English, cross.
The geometry
This was a custom round of geometry specifically designed for Colin’s needs.

Here are the brakes used on my dCrois (under another name). I don’t agree with the comments on the pads. Mine have been a revelation.
A bit of upgrading and tinkering ready for the new season. Hope brakes, new Hope wheels and some new gears.
