Crosstrac Sonoma

Mr. Zero, I might be able to help you with some information regarding your Crosstrac as my father was one of the original fabricators of the bike.

What a fantastic looking bike & the most beautiful fork ever!

I remember reading the MBA with the test in. It wasn't my dream bike then but it is now!

CTK - The shop were these were made had a fire but the owner managed to save about 12 complete bikes if you're interested.

That would be excellent. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Pretty much all I've got is what I've gleaned from a couple of MBA article from the time.

Btw, it's nice to see another example in such fine condition.

"Btw, it's nice to see another example in such fine condition." - Thanks. Your bike's pretty freaking sweet. Looking at your bars makes me want to clean up the cables and brake lines on mine. I've never played with hydraulic brakes before so I'm apprehensive to go and start cutting stuff. Can I ask how much pressure you use in the front shock? I've found about 27 psi works pretty good for me. Anymore and they become rock solid.
The shop where they were made still has about 12 complete bikes and a couple boxes of spare parts. I had called looking for replacement seals for the front shocks just in case/when they go. If you want their number send me a pm.
