Hi, So I'm moving to Edinburgh, Scotland to get a masters. I can't bring much with me and have sold my mtn and road bikes. I was thinking I'd get a steel planet x. I have 2 questions.
1) will this bike be adequate for trail riding? I've never ridden a cx. I mtn bike loads. Would you reccomend getting a riser bar instead of drops? But then I couldn't road ride really so i def. need drops. Any thoughts?
2)When I return StateSide, I was thinking I'd use the planet x as my road bike. Set it up with a dura ace group and thinner tires. What are your thoughts on the planet x frame as a pure road bike?
lastly, what if I just got a club racer to go to europe with. I couldn't mtn bike on it but it would kick ass at commuting and touring on weekends and whatnot. Can I stick thicker tires on that?
