Saarlander Sascha Weber (Veranclassic-Doltcini) has established himself as a solid authority in the German cyclocross scene behind Philipp Walsleben (BKCP-Powerplus) and Marcel Meisen (Kwadro-Stannah). This year he has underlined his position with some strong races, just think of his 16th place at the World Cup in Rome or his bronze medal at the DM in Döhlau.
For his races, Weber can rely on a Specialized Crux in the striking Gloss Neon Blue-Charcoal-Hyper color scheme. The bike is also equipped with an exciting mix of components to match. The first thing that catches the eye at the front is the Ritchey WCS Monocurve , a carbon handlebar with a width of 42 centimeters and an integrated stem that is 100 millimeters long.
In terms of drivetrain, Weber relies on Shimano's Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 , the electronic version of the Japanese manufacturer's current top-of-the-line groupset. However, like several other riders, he combines this with a Shimano Ultegra 6800 crankset. In his case, this is likely due to the current shortage of Dura-Ace chainrings with the 46/39 tooth ratio typical for cyclocross.
Another striking detail is the neon yellow Revox cantilever brakes from TRP. The lever arms are made of carbon and blend perfectly into the bike's color scheme. The same applies to the wheels. Weber has fitted the rather rare Ursus T28 rims, which he's fitted with Dugast tubular tires. The specific tire model depends on the terrain. In the version we photographed, the bike weighs a mere 7,6 kilograms.
