Read some search results and want to get opinions on this.
I've got a Specialized Tricross Comp that I use as a commuter and for rec rides on the weekend. I don't want to use it for cx as I've converted a lot of the cross parts to road parts.
I have a Orbea Lanza 29er hard tail that I was thinking I might use for this years cross season. Seems like it'd work. It's 22lbs, has a Reba Rock Shox lock out capable fork. I was thinking that switching the tires for CX tires, I should be good to go.
Think this would be a competitive (compared to a dedicated CX bike) bike for racing in the lower levels?
Edit: Reason I don't want to use the Tricross is it's my main bike and I did use it last year for CX and I beat the living hell out of it so I don't think it would last long doing double duty.
