I know that the Cutthroat was designed for RTD... And it's actually labeled as a drop bar mountain bike but, hss anyone seen a Cutthroat set up for road use, as well as Gravel? I just got my X-Night, and have only logged 19.5 miles on her but, I'm wondering if I need a more versatile bike? My X-Night only has one bottle cage, obviously I can wear a hydration pack or even run a saddle mounted bottle cage.... But I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems that the Cutthroat is made for longer rides than my X-Night. I do love my Ridley, I just want a bike that I'll keep and ride for many years.

I'm also afraid, with the thin frame tubes they used to cut down on weight, since it's a race bike, that it will not be rugged enough for my 235lbs.

I'd like to hear everyone's input. Also, if you have seen a Cutthroat used as a road bike and gravel bike, please chime in.

I the meantime, I'll be riding the pics out of the X-Night and possibly stopping by one of the local Salsa dealer's for a look see.
