Hi All,
I'm fretting over what to build up as a winter commute bike.
Currently I use a single speed langster for my fairly rural commute over the winter months but quite often had to resort to my full susser when it got nasty.
This year I wanted to build a beefier 'go anywhere' commuter, porbably single speed.I like the idea I could run thin tyres for the road plus knobblies for a quick 'blast'.
I have quite a few bits left over from my last mtb build (reba fork, wheels, disc brakes) so I was thinking:
One one inbred/scandal slot drop out 26er
Kinesis Decade Virsa
Cotic roadrat
But, having seen the rather lovely Cotic X at the cycle show maybe I should sell all the bits ive got and get a cyclocross bike instead (I've been thinkking about having a go at this for a while):
Cotic X
One one Uncle John
Kona Jake
Any thoughts? and no the wife won't let me have both!
Ta,
Mat
