When it first appeared Cycleworld said it looked “like an aircompressor”, the Brits call it the “Plastic Maggot” and the Germans kindly refer to it as “Guellepumpe”, which is the tank pump trailer that German farmers use to spray cowshit on their land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"u8sticc4kc5wcfjkf\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTen years ago you couldn’t give these bikes away but the cafe phenomenon has given the CX a new lease on life.

We’ve seen a lot of CX500 builds but almost all of them use a stock tank. Johann used our BSAT3 fuel tank and carefully mounted it onto the CX frame. The tank completely transforms the look of the bike! Subframe and seat unit were custom made. We have several seat options for the standard frame.
