I think I'm probably a little too worried about everything. I really like riding my carbon bike. and it's a long commute so I would get home fastest on my carbon bike. I think I should go with what I have for now.
I am tempted to get this cyclocross bike for fun commuting and to share with my nephews. They borrow and ride my bikes a lot.
