I was wondering if you could ride a cyclocross bike like you do an MTB. My
MTB's were all about 22" so a 56 cm is that size.
The answer is that you can ride it but it is slower than the correct size
which is about 2-3 cm smaller than your normal road bike. So I'm riding a 59
Raleigh Cyclocross Team which is a VERY nice bike by the way.
I'm selling off all my bikes that I don't ride so I have the 60 cm c-c
Merckx Corse 0.1, the 61 cm c-t Fuji Newest, the XL Santa Cruz Superlight
and the 56 cm c-t Pinarello all up for sale. The Merckx is all Chorus
8-speed with a couple of Record parts on it. The Fuji has mostly 105 9-speed
parts which work quite nicely. The Santa Cruz is hardly used and has all XT
parts thought he downtube has some scratches on it from the (*&^)( bike
carrier. Santa Cruz's don't fit any bike rack properly and end up getting
scratched.
The Pinarello is setup for real cross riding except it has a triple so that
I can ride it instead of an MTB on the really hard stuff.
