Nobody's been ridin' Crescents longer than Martin. I noticed he uses this cool looking chain tensioner. I bet it's homeade. Find his website, his game is tight!

the cranks are very nice - my LBS bought out the entire stock of roox parts from the distributor when he closed down - has a heap of those cranks with compact spiders for cheap if anyone wants them.

Martin doesn´t even ride that frame anymore, now he rides a coust and i just love that comment he made when he first tried it: OMG frames has changed the last 8 years!!!


Meaning he rode the same type of crescent frame for 8 years... and now he ride with other crans aswell, and that chain tennsioner he makes himself.

he rides a coust now? Please dont tell me he managed to get that at 18 pounds too.

I remember picking up one of his older bikes once(new style crescent) and being shocked that it was slightly heavier than a road bike.

roox makes some really nice, light stuff. Fairly strong too but not bombproof, their freeride stem is pretty cool but too short for me.

tensioner is just a piece of carbon. the flex (you can see its slightly bent) keeps the chain tight.

Oh, thank goodness they have monkey-butt! I thought I was going to hemorage,...

I suppose that IF the cranks have the same XTR interface as Bonz do, you could just order up some Bonz bash 58mm spiders and lock-em on. Looks like Martin has a home made one attached.

At first glance I thought he had used a fender/rack stay for a tensioner.
