Katie Compton's New Ride

Probably nothing, but the season is still early and news is slow...

On September 13th, Cyclocross Magazine wrote an article on a new carbon 'cross bike for National Champ Katie Compton.

When originally published, it said:

...Although the pair is mum when asked about the spy photo or a possible change in bikes for this season, we suspect it's a new Parlee 'cross frame custom built for Compton.

Why Parlee? Earlier in the year we grabbed the photo below of Compton's Primus Mootry rig, complete with a $100 carbon fiber Parlee front derailleur clamp. While Compton has been known to buy the equipment she wants to ride, we suspect this clamp (pictured below) was the start of a long-term relationship.

But now, it's changed:

...Mark Legg-Compton has confirmed they are helping to test and develop a new carbon frame, but assured CXM that Katie will be racing on her Scandium Primus Mootry frames again this year.
