Currently riding a CAAD8 but am getting sick of the gears always getting gummed up in our persistent bad weather (I ride on back roads which are always muddy), so I'm considering switching to something singlespeed again - used to have a Langster and loved it. However I don't really want to give up the option to run gears again if I change my mind. Really liking the look of the Crosscheck for this as it can run either, but I don't really fancy the idea of steel on a road bike. Plus I have no intentions of riding cx so it's maybe a bit over built for me. I just like the versatility it seems to offer for gearing and mudguard/tyre/wheel options! Wondering if there's anything similar out there but in a lighter aluminium construction?
