Traded my old steel frame for this one, just for the cable guides. Just swapped over most of the parts from the other bike to this one and made a few changes.
Frame:
Cheap TIG welded Hi-Ten steel frame, 52cm (54TT with HUGE headtube. Relative to size, of course.)
More Info:
Steel Beater SS 3.0 is up and running. Will post bike on Pedalroom soon!

Love the paint job! Reminds me of a Panasonic frame I once had, with a purple metallic paint covered with paint splatters. How did you apply the splatting?

Thanks! I just used the small paint brush that comes with children's paint sets. Dipped it in paint and just swung it towards the frame. I have your X-Check in my faves. I hope to get one of those dirt-touring rigs everybody is crazy about for myself soon.

Thanks for the fave then! I totally love gravel/all-road bikes, and the Cross-Check is clearly a good bike. Though, today, I would probably have bought a bike with discs. Actually I'm upgrading the CC these days, just ordered the last parts, so will update it's page in a few weeks.
Also, sounds like a fun way to paint a bike. Is the black layer powder or spray paint? And did you use spray paint for the splatters? I'm tempted to do something similar myself, It give those crazy 90s paint vibes.
