"If we had to guess what the most recent bike on the UCI-approved list was, we'd have never expected it to be this beautiful, but decidedly conventional Mosaic XT-1 titanium cyclocross bike. But when elite American cyclist Ben Frederick found out he was heading to Czechia to race the opening round of the CX World Cup in Tábor, Mosaic had to make sure he could line up at the start with his two custom-painted XT-1 cross bikes."
"In fact, the XT-1 isn't even officially in the catalog of the Boulder, CO bike builder. The X-series technically got phased out and replaced with the G-series as gravel pushed cross out a few years back. But Mosaic is a killer custom frame builder. And all their bikes are "made to order from scratch including rider specific geometry, configuration and choice of finish work" so we're pretty sure they'll still make you an XT-1 if you want to do some serious World Cup cyclocross racing."
Mosaic's XT-1 is a welded titanium cyclocross frame that recently gained UCI approval and was raced by Ben Frederick at the Tábor CX World Cup. Mosaic no longer lists the XT-1 in its public catalog after replacing the X-series with the G-series, but continues to build custom frames to order with rider-specific geometry and finish choices. Frederick used two XT-1 bikes that he had already raced the previous season; Mosaic stripped and repainted them at its Spectrum Paint & Powder Works in colorful Nebula-on-white and white-on-Nebula finishes. The UCI approval applies to the specific 56cm frame and geometry Frederick rode.
