Yesterday I showed you his track bike from last year's show. Now let's get into what he's coming with this year.

A fully internal cable routed disc brake cross racer.

Granted, I don't know the first thing about carbon, but is that exposed (i.e., non-clearcoated) carbon weave? If so, is it like that just for the show, or can it actually be ridden like that?

This is the final finish of the frame! Carbon doesn't rust or corrode, so it requires no clear coat. I do apply a light wipe-on liquid that gives it a little bit of shine. This bike is ready to roll!
