A cross bike and then some, it's hard to beat
Surly''s
Cross Check for versatility and total bang for your buck. Made with 4130 chromoly steel, it''s a pretty tough beast that will stand up to four-season, take-me-anywhere beatings and come back for more. The frame geometry plays nice for commuting and light touring, too, so you won''t have to leave it at the cross course. That super versatility shows through in fork eyelets and rear bosses that invite fenders and racks, as well as rear clearance that will take on tires up to 45mm wide.
