My dilemma is that I want a beater that I can get CX tyres in for the winter/mild off roading like canal and forest paths.
But then can also stick 23c slicks and short risers on and take the brakes off for a nippy town bike to throw around town.
The PC is a pretty complete package and it's cheap, I know I can get bigger tyres in it when I need to and that they ride well on slicks.
I think my Pompet with 28c tyres would do both well. I'd bike happy to ride over firm-ish grass, things like the Lea Valley path, and rougher canal towpaths easily and in comfort. For actual proper CX I'd want to put some knobblier tyres on but otherwise I think it's that versatile anyway.
