It's not road or mountain, but it's still beautiful. I'll be racing cross this fall. :):)

    That is a beautiful bike. that is some set of tyres on it. Do you cycle a lot in muddy, snowy conditions?

    That's a lovely looking (front end of a) bike :laugh:

    There's just a certain "something" about cyclocross bikes... I've no ambitions to EVER race cyclocross again - even when I WAS fit and racing on the road regularly, 'cross racing was just painful, but every time I ride around my local offroad loop, I can't help but think that I'm completely "overbiked" on a Hardtail MTB - plus the change in riding position/saddle-bar relationship just knocks me for six... I think I'm seeing a relatively non-racy 'cross bike/audax/winter ride in my future....

    Very nice bike!!! The guys in my riding group usually quit and ride indoors for winter but we've been talking about getting cross bikes and continuing our rides through the snow. I think it could come in useful on some of the dirt trails I ride where my MTB is just over kill.

    Good luck with your racing this fall.

    Gorgeous bike! I think cyclocross counts as road and mountain rather than road or mountain! I've certainly seen them on road and trail. :)

    It looks great. Just get a set of road wheels with disc hubs for it, and you have a mutli-purpose bike. That's what I did with my Hardtail MTB, and it is a lot of fun to take out once in a while. One of these days though, I am going to get a true road bike with disk brakes.

    Yeah, this is actually something I was thinking about. I have an extra set of road tires. Can I stick road tires on these wheels? I don't know if there would be an issue with that. Anyone know?

    I ride a felt too! they're great rides

    You can stick road tires on there no problem. I would suggest gator skins I have a pair and they last forever

    I have those! :) good to go. So excited! I've been riding with the cross tires but I'm going to swap them out soon so I can save them for next fall.
