Mosaic part 2: RS-2 road with Force 22
Posted by 4 on
We are on a roll with Mosaic lately, so here's another sweet build.
Kris's Mosaic RS-2 features True Temper OX Platinum tubing, ENVE 2.0 fork.
Custom geometry and paint are included with every Mosaic at Blacksmith Cycle.
More build details, photos and wheel choices show up after the jump...
The little things do matter - precious build details and a jaw-dropping luscious paint job.
The goods = Chris King headset hugs the Mosaic "Tree of Life" brass head badge.
We've been loving the new Fizik components almost as much as Aaron's welds.
Does made-by-hand-in-fucking-america mean anything to you? It does to us.
Xentis Squad 7.5 clincher wheels and SRAM Force 22 do make a lovely combination.
The project…
Kris wanted a fun, smooth, durable race bike that was more unique than the BIG NAMES.
The results…
Another home-run from the Mosaic crew - a near-perfect steel bike, smartly equipped too.

The real build - custom H Son Plus Archetypes with Continental GP 4-Seasons.
For year-round riding, this bike is super smooth, yet still lively. Spacers for winter setup.
