Thinking of a race/road bike.

[Saluki]

Went to evans to pick my bike up after repair and was speaking to one of the sales staff and he had just bought a cyclo cross bike and was raving about it, said its more comfortable on the road than a road bike as it has slightly wider tyres and is good off road too. Think it was a pinnacle , on offer at the mo only downside was a very lary green colour. Hope this helps

Just been and looked at the bike in green. I like it a lot.

Yes, Cyclocross is one entry on the range of possible replies.

What, would you have preferred it if I'd said the following?
"You could get a cyclocross bike, but I might be able to make other suggestions if you would be so kind as to indicate to me the line of reasoning that led you to decide you wanted a road bike with MTB tyres."

Please. Cyclocross has already been covered in the thread. I can't contribute anything meaningful without more data.

I didn't really know what I wanted when I got my hybrid. I thought I was getting a "best of both worlds." I was actually getting a best of none. I WISH someone had asked my why I wanted a hybrid. I WISH someone had asked me the questions I ask others now. I WISH someone had suggested I get a CX bike. I would have been far happier with it and I would now own one bike, not two.

i dunno why im being so contrary. apoloagies.
