BTW, a Origin 8 CX700 will not fit a 700x53 or larger tire, the Black Mountain Monstercross tops-out at 700x50. Neither of these bikes meet your definition as a Monstercross bike. You not only can't understand a clearly stated definition provided by others, you can't use your own statements with any consistency.
