cyclocross as a tourer??

[KnottedYet]

I also have a Surly Cross Check, and have it set up for commuting/utility/touring.

It handles the loaded panniers just fine, and it really ISN'T an agressively positioned bike. I'll be making it even more comfy for me when I put a taller stem on it next week. (messed up neck from a car accident, so even though having the bars even with the saddle like they are now is pretty darn comfy for most folks, I prefer to have the bars even higher)



edit: there is a Surly Long Haul Trucker (tourer) and Cross Check (cyclocross) owners page. I think the site is www.surlyville.net They have some great bike ideas, and lots of nice bike pics!
