I live in Colorado. Most of the year, the weather is dry, but snow in winter and spring and afternoon thunderstorms in late summer are common.

The bike paths are good around here and plowed regularly, so I can stay off the street for the most part, though I imagine that may change in the future if/when I move or change jobs.

I kind of figured clearance would be an issue with most of these frames... maybe I'm bad at reading spec charts, but I had trouble figuring out clearances for most of these bikes.
Last year I asked BD about the max tire clearance on my Fantom Cross CX. They said that it can take up to 700x42c.
