We filmed Katie Comptons Trek Boone pro cyclocross bike following the cancellation of the Koksijde cyclo cross world cup. And, we're glad that we did. Each one of Compton's bikes takes two days to build and the level of attention to detail is just incredible. Honestly, it has to be seen to be believed.
