I've never cyclocrossed or even attended a race, but they're great all-around bikes. Great for commuting, general off/on road riding and I just like their look.

Oh, and how dare you post without introducing yourself. You're going to be in big trouble. :)

Are you still doing the MS ride? It's pretty soon isn't it?

jeepxj3: of COURSE I do :) If for no other reason than the sense of smug superiority ;)

Shodan: Whoops! My bad ;)

It's this weekend, I had to back out because a good friend is getting married. I was going to ride Sunday, but 80 miles with a hangover wouldn't be much fun.

Fixed :)

Go watch a race - you'll be hooked!

Welcome!

I can't afford to get hooked on any more hobbies. Especially ones that require me to buy more bikes:).

Better to start off with Jeeps and add bikes, than to start off with bikes and get hooked on Jeeps $$$ !

My cross bike is my favorite bike. I do just about anything on it. Never raced it though.

Where did you go? I am looking for something just above the Rails to trails, just to get into the woods. The improved trails are nice but all you do is go up or down a trail with no more than like 5% grade. Nothing really exciting.

Portlands are cool but if you can find a Poprad in good shape go for that. The steel frame is pretty sweet.

My Trek 1500 was sold so I could buy a Surly CrossCheck 58cm. It was a good swap :biggrin:.
