was always ambivalent about the bike. I liked the solid feel off road but don't miss dragging a 26lb bike up the hills.
This is exactly how I felt about my croix de fer. I loved the bike, rode great when loaded for touring but was hard work any other time. Which made me not like it so much most the time

I think I miss my crosscheck. I ran mine for four years and then sold it on. I was always ambivalent about the bike. I liked the solid feel off road but don't miss dragging a 26lb bike up the hills.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much like it around now discs have become ubiquitous.
Pity about the pack rat which was definitely different. Looks like I'll be using my old claud butler for the forseeable future.
