I'm building a SS this winter for next summer. I'm not decided what bike to get...
I have a FS geard bike to run the local single tracks, but they're short and far apart. I'm mostly riding gravel roads, and backroads. So I was thinking of building a training bike to get some distance straight from my backyard. When looking at what bike to get I came across alot of cyclocross bikes or bikes like the Country Road Bob by Van Dessel or the Pompino by On-One. I also noticed lot of u SS-ers are riding drop bars and skinny tires. So for these type of roads should I maby look more into building a cyclocross bike than a mtb? Or can I take the best of both worlds?
