With the Dew,you can swap back and forth between skinny and fat tires as you see fit. You also have room for knobbie cross tires for winter use. And it'll take full fenders no prob. How much clearance does the road bike have for fenders/tires? Also,if you want more hand positions or the ability to get aero,for $20 plus bar tape you can put a REI trekking(safari) bar on it and keep your stock controls.
