I just can't imagine giving up my road bike. I've been exploring a lot lately on the CX and was thinking it could be a suitable substitute for the road bike. Then I road the same route one day on the CX and the next day on the road bike. The road bike is definitely the right machine for pavement. Position, handling, feel, and for me, gearing make a true road bike indispensable. The CX definitely opens up a lot of routes that the road bike can't handle but it takes something away from the paved routes.
