ok - quick background and details on the Quick CX 1 :
last summer got a Quick 1 Disc - my 'hybrid / road' bike fitted with 50x34 and 11-30 cassette)
early this year got a Quick CX 1 - my 'hybrid / dirt road' bike (fitted with triple crank and 11-32 cassette)
The Quick CX 1 was in fairly good shape - equipped with original Deore / Alvio / STX level components
The original Shimano Deore (etc) components were replaced with Shimano Deore XT components (and XTR cassette):

> XT FD-M771 High Clamp / Bottom Swing Front Derailleur (top or bottom pull)
> CN-HG93 9-Speed Road / MTB chain 116-Links
> XT SL-M770 Shifters (9 spd)
> XT BL-M785-B Brake Lever Assemblies
> XT BR-M785 Brake Calipers
> SM-BH90 Brake Hose
> SM-RT81-S IceTech Centerlock Rotors
> J03A Finned Brake Pads
Also installed Continental Terra Speed 700x35 tires / Schwalbe Aerothan tubes

WTB Volt Saddle w/titanium rails (wide/150mm)
next up : handlebar, grips, pedals

Thanks !
The Headshok equipped CX will not be everyone's favorite - especially in the small size - but I'm growing accustomed to it
This bike in a small size is actually at the upper limit of small - front end sits relatively high and stand over is relatively high (for a small) ; the height / stand over is noticeably / significantly larger than my 2018 Quick 1 Disc - but this CX is also relatively 'short' in length
So it sits sorta / kinda high and short ... maybe ideal for my intended plans / purpose (?)
Reminds me a bit of one of my fav old dirt bikes - 1975 RM125 (pictured)

some pics of the Quick 1 Disc
Also a small - but the seat tube much shorter and stand over much lower compared to the Headshok equipped CX
( seat tube is so short Cannondale did not fit water bottle cage bosses to the seat tube )
