Hey all,
I'm looking to buy a bike, but I'm not sure which bike or how many to buy. I want a bike that I can go long distance riding with, and I want to be able to carry side packs, and maybe a trailer. But I also want a bike that I can use to go fast, and for everyday long rides, like a road bike. So, do I need two bikes, or can I just use one and change the wheels or tyres?? I'm not really sure what to do, this is a bit of a conumdrum for me.
Please help.
Thanks

Buy one and change the wheels...
Mine will take 32mm tires plus fender or rack. Most of the time I ride it with 23mm tires for the fast riding. =)
But then, for me, that option was a $50 upcharge on a custom frame. It makes sense for me. You should be able to find a cyclocross bike with similar capabilities.
