Winter bike / Snow bike thread

I'm thinking of buying a bike for the full year here in Norway. I'm looking at importing the Genesis Croix de Fer, but I'm wondering what the maximum tire width on that is (will it fit 40mm Nokians?)

Does anybody here know what fits on that one?

I'm in Norway too.

A CX bike is definitly the answer to all year use IMHO. Have you looked at the cross bikes with 29er like clearance?

Salsa Vaya.
Singular peregrine.
Surl Crosscheck.

Those are the common ones. But if yu search Monster-cross you'll find quite a few more. Most have rack'n'guard mounts. I reckon the Singular and the Salsa would fit Extreme 294s.

I have an old CX bike with lucky clearances, which does well. I need a new frame though (and want disc brakes)

I was looking at the Salsa.
