carbon Stigmata was born out of demand from our own employees, athletes and friends for a 700c bike that could crush cyclocross races and strike out on long dirt road crusades,\u201d explained Santa Cruz Product Manager Josh Kissner.. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely a legit CX racer, but we\u2019ve added small details to keep it versatile, such as a 160mm brake rotors for long descents, a PF30 BB for maximum drivetrain compatibility and full 41mm tire clearance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Screen-Shot-2015-02-17-at-07.40.25.png\"><img
