These 2 bikes were made for the same person, built with the same geometry and parts.
The only difference is in the tubing. Both are stainless steel. One is built with Columbus
XCr tubing from Italy....
The other is built with
Reynolds 953 tubing from England.
XCr above, 953 below. Indy Fab
SSR's in either case.
EDGE 2.0 all carbon forks.
3t stem,
seatpost and bars.
Sterling silver
headbadge.
Multi colored hoods from H
udz.
Chris King headsets.
Mavic Open Pro rims,
handbuilt with....
...Chris King
Hubs.
All tied together with a
Sram Red Gruppo.
Ride report from our (super sensitive) mystery tester to come.

Wow, what a pair :)
Really looking forward to the test report.
Meanwhile, I've been enjoying both the ride and build quality on the Hampsten 953 you folks built for me - thanks for the great work on that.
Marco, in Toronto.
yep --definitely looking forward to the ride report. The XCr chainstays look a little more sturdy (yet they *appear* to taper more agressively). I have no complaints about the sturdiness of my SSR chainstays, but I'm not a big leg power rider.
Anyhow, thanks for the views of these beautiful step-sister SSRs!
My mouth is watering!
What weighs what!?
Was there ever a ride report published?
Would love to know how 953 compared to XCR.
I see that this is a pretty old post, but I still would like to know the result. IF, what say you?
