I agree. As I said, I'm done.
I really don't blame you for buying a Cross Check.
I commuted on one for two years and thoroughly enjoyed it.
In fact, I sold it to a friend that ended up doing the MS 150 and numerous gravel events on it, including several 100 mile gravel races in the midwest.
He'll be racing this upcoming cross season for All City it looks like, but if he weren't, I would try to talk him into also considering one of these.
Gives the Cross Check a little competition I think.
At a decent price point.
