So when I moved to drop bars the end of last year i opted for a cycle cross bike as i was concerned about riding on cycle tracks with the skinny wheels having 1, never been on a bike with drops & 2, never ridden anything with skinny tires.
I have been bitten by the cycling bug badly now and am contemplating getting a full road bike or changing my rims for some road ones currently my wheels are 700x35c (Full bike spec below). Which would be better? I was chatting to a cyclist tonight who opted for a road bike as opposed to a cyclocross and he also has a specialized road bike but all the running gear is identical to my cyclocross bike down to gearing ratios. This made me wonder whether if changing the rims would be as good as changing the whole bike.
