I'm confused about what many people have said about cyclocross frames having a more aggressive riding style than road bikes. I'm looking at a Motobecane Fantom CX and the published frame geometries seem similar to the Windsor Tourist (a touring bike). Can anyone clarify? For reference, I've posted the geometries (I'm 6' with 34"/863mm inseam):


The Tourist doesn't seem like an option, as the Windsor site says that it comes in to nearly 30 lbs. I don't do any long distance touring to justify the bike weight, despite my desire for a similar geometry.

Thanks everyone for posting pictures of their bikes, it has been very helpful and has given me hope that a well fit bike for me is out there. I noticed that everyone's stems are very short, which makes sense for bringing handlebars closer to the body and getting more upright. I would love to have a stem that is as short and elevated as possible. However, when I was test riding cross and touring bikes today one sales person said that I shouldn't reduce the stem length too much (I remember something about reduced turning radius). What are the problems with reducing stem length?

I've seriously considered butterfly/trekking bars, but I've never used them. I'm reluctant to drop money on a flat bar hybrid and spend time configuring these bars without having used them. Maybe I'll get my hands on a cheap hybrid/MTB and try them out.
