Should I consider a cyclocross?
Looking for a road bike that can handle country and city roads. I was looking at a fuji cross comp and the Schwin fastback cx and was liking the bigger more rugged tires as compared to the very thin tires on most road bikes.
Looking at road rides from 25 to 50 miles per day. Maybe an occasional crushed limestone trail. Want something above entry level. Budget is about $650 to $700.
Ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
I picked up a Specialized hybrid for a few hundred over your budget. Also for the reason of the WHEEL BUILD. Three cross, 36 spoke. I am a little too heavy at this point to hop on one of the common race wheels now! Maybe in a year or two.
Anyways, a hybrid is probably what you want, but if it comes with knobby tires, you might convince the shop to swap them out with a set of good slicks. You don’t want to ride that far on knobbies. And the slicks should be fine on the limestone, if it is anything at all like a smooth dirt path.
