Bike retailer Deus has put together an elegant hybrid cyclocross bicycle designed to be used for both racing as well as more casual riding. The bike -- known as the Stralusc -- provides a steel frame that is suited to both terrains.
The Deus Stralusc is an ideal design for riders that enjoy multiple types of biking and are seeking a cycle that can accommodate a variety of styles and terrains. The cycle is Italian made with a durable steel frame that is suited to both pavement and dirt road riding. Each Stralusc is put together by hand and features handcrafted embellishments and coloring. Other features that take this bike from city riding to the backcountry include a plush Selle San Macro seat, a hydraulic groupset and a 3T cockpit.
