2012 Bikes

I agree it totally blurs the line.

But it's a bike that could:

• keep up on shite-weather winter road training rides (with skinny tyres and mudguards).
  
• excel at gnarly nighttime road training rides (when a road bike can be a bit of a handful).
  
• go green laning or tough-stuff light touring.
  
• race cross (with knobblies).
  
• play on singletrack far better than your average cx racing bike.
  
  

You can't ride a 29er on a club run.
