ok, so i've decided to make this it's own thread. i guess even I need to moderated sometimes. anyway...
i've been looking at CX bikes too. i've also been looking at fixies, bikes with gears, full suspension bikes with gears and even the occasional unicycle. ok, i admit, i have a serious problem and need to see someone. thankfully i also have a wife, two children and one on the way so i get the reality check prior to dropping the coin.
anyway, a question: i have my old rigid trek 970, formerly my road bike, currently my "errand/beer" bike. it's seeing very little time on that duty. could i get drop bars for it, have the cables re-routed for the bars and semi-comfortably run it as a psuedo-CX bike? hell, i even have the 700c rims from the raleigh...i wonder if they'd fit with skinny CX tires?? thoughts?
