Notes from the 1999 catalog
Sizing info for the Chris Cross is as follows (seat and HT angles not given):
Size 55cm, Standover 32.3", TT (c-c) 22.2", Fork Offset 1.75", HT Length 132mm, Wheel Base 39.9"
Catalog says rear wheel spacing could be either 130 or 135mm. Color looks like ferrous metallica.
Top tube lengths on this model seems too short to me to make it a true offroad niner. Catalog says people " also use their cross bikes as pothole-hopping urban assult vehicles and for long distance touring. Mulitple wheelsets will give you maximum flexibility and equip you for everything from road crits to rock garden adventures."
