since i was yay high... haha I am a newbie but yeah i'm looking for a bike to basically to get back in shape...i'd be riding on mostly flat road not so hilly but id like something that i could go over cracks and rough road if needed..would a hybrid fit those needs what about a cyclo cross?...i definitely like this one http://www.dalescycles.com/2011-specialized-tricross-p3104 .....but its pretty expensive...i know the higher quality the more money youll spend....any good or ok alternatives ,something I can lets say customize swap tires for better ones i guess you would say. and cheaper in price maybe drastically cheaper. A bike for the time being until i can ''Step up'' to the big leagues
