So your think, I don't have a CX bike, what can i ride with out getting my fancy shinny road bike dirty? Well here's the answer... Drag out your old MTB you used to ride to school or work etc, find some old bits and pieces in your shed, put your road wheels on, and VOILA! You can have your very own "pimped out custom" CX bike! Feel free to ask questions on how to do conversions.
