The easiest way to describe it... it's a hybrid.
But it's really a fast singlespeed cyclocross bike that is endowed with transformer abilities to become an all-weather geared fast tourer.
The hardest thing has been the handlebars, brakes and levers... all of which influence each other. I wanted discs and rohloff, but these are nigh on impossible with drops. Yet nearly all of my riding is on the hoods of drops, or on the flats next to the stem... the latter helped me decide on a straight bar... but it's been far and away the hardest decision to make.
