i'm looking for a bike i can do some mild offroading, some cx, put bags or panniers on and go touring on, or put some skinnier tyres on and ride it on the road/commute on it.
Thats at least 4 bikes you are talking about there ;)

well, i think it's possible. there are bikes that do what i want, i just don't love the look of the ones i've found so i wanted to see if there were others.
