I've seen discussion that the essential difference between a
cyclocross and a road bike is the cantilever breaks and the greater
frame clearance for knobby tires -- but it also seems the stem on a
cyclocross is taller and the drop bar angle is higher. I'm talking
about, say, a Bianchi San Jose or Roger, a Specialized Tricross, etc.
I'm asking because I bought a nice Tricross for riding this winter
through the potholes and slush in NYC and it got stolen 2 weeks later
so now I'm going to convert my singlespeed for winter use. I want
drop bars but a bit more "heads up" than track bars and knob treads
for the nasty streets.
Any thoughts on the stem issue - just curious.
