Nashbar cyclo-x frame
Im thinking about picking one of these up to use for a commuter/all arounder. Do you guys size up or down for a commuter vs a dedicated road race bicycle? I plan on doing some cross with it as well, which is why I may size down, but not sure how advisable that is with a commuter. Also, I know it has 130mm dropouts, which precludes 135mm MTB hubs, and wider than roadie bottom bracket, so typical roadie cranks won't work... What cranks are people using with these? Do you all prefer roadie brake/shifter setups (ala SRAM Rival/Shimano 105) or MTB rapid fire shifters for commuting? I'm for sure going with disc brakes, which is why I'm planning on the cyclocross frame instead of the touring frame.
