I think that's where I'm heading. I have a very nice road bike and a Trek 1500, which is good bike itself. I'd also like to have CX bike to ride some of the dirt trails around here and hack around with my kids. Can't fit or rationalize 3 bikes, and 32mm tires and canti brakes won't fit on the Trek.

So I'm thinking of buying a frame and fork and swapping the components over. Not sure if the economics sorts out though.
