Cross Vegas Represent
10.03.2008 • Posted by: David
If you were one of the lucky 15,000+ attendees at Cross Vegas last week you were treated to a great race with some of the biggest names in the sport. Through all of the excitement of Ryan Trebon’s victory and seeing Lance Armstrong hold his own in a ‘cross race, you may have missed one of the night’s highlights— Tony Cruz’s wheels. Luckily our good friend Christopher T. Smith from Time Sport USA was there with a camera to capture the action:
Handspun teamed up the guys at BMC to put together a pair of wheels suitable for such a high caliber event. The wheels that Tony is riding here are Easton EC90 carbon rims built on DT Swiss 240 hubs, with the new white Aerolite spokes- hand built by Handspun’s own Erick Kyllonen. These wheels looked fast standing still, and they helped Tony beat out Lance Armstrong in the final sprint to the line. A big thanks to BMC, and to Tony for being the first pro to ride Handspun wheels. Congratulations on a great race!
