Sort of a halfway house between road and touring. I had one for a while and it's OK with 32mm tyres but they are heavy. I wouldn't use 'playful'; more 'solid.'
I bought it for commuting (bombproof, large tyres, mudguards), dad duties, and some light touring and it was perfect for that. Yes, you could use it for longer road rides but you might find it a bit bland.

I'm really tempted to buy a cross-check frameset. I will probably mainly use it as a roadbike with 32mm tyres, can anyone who has one tell me how it handles? Is it still a bit playful or a quite boring and more like a touring bike?
