Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A good steel road/tour/audax/cross/fixie frame......angles/rake not too steep, handbuilt 32 spoke wheels, good tire selection..will do a whole lot of off-roading with relative ease. Reminds you how good MTB's are and how lazy they make you!
