Nice.  I always liked those for a good urban bike.  Sold many of them back in the day to people who needed a bike for transportation, not for flossin' on a roof rack at the trail head parking lot.

nice!  i recently built up my first true cross bike and indeed, a shit-ton of fun for around town shinanigans.  i have a hard time fully commiting to a pure road bike, i've never felt right on one.  cross..... sweetness.

I was wanting to get a true road bike but after realizing the cost vs what I could or couldn't do, it just seemed better to go with the cyclocross style.  Now I don't have to pay TOO much attention when I'm riding around.

Got pics of yours weav?

hi, sorry, yeah i do.  allthough it's not looking very crossish at the moment.  it does errands and picks up beer and random shit in this little town of mine.  allthough if i got a plan for a weekend involving the bike, i got another rear wheel i throw on with a cassete to make it a 1x9, throw on some different pedals, take off the basket, and run some flat bars with profile stubbies.  sounds like a pita but really its only like a 5 minute procedure.  it's a planet x frame and its been surprisingly stout, even took it on a couple doubles the other day at the local bmx park (removed grocerys from basket first).  i'll prolly turn it back to trail duty full time in the near future and mulling over the idea of an as light as possible 29er air fork for it.  we will see.  or perhaps just keep it as is and build a true 29er mt bike.  i'm never content with bikes :l
