Tell me if I should buy a crosser

[Mimosa]

So?
Get a smaller one, 34T for instance, BBB Parts sells them in lots of different sizes for normal and compact cranks, for shimano and campa.

I would love to have a CX bike for the winter, those cx bikes are much easier to clean, you can also fit is with a roadwheel, you can decide to take a turn into the woods ... you name it

Hi Mimosa,

much as I'd love to do that, I doubt it is possible.
I am assuming this is a regular double crankset and apparently 38 is the smallest you could go.

Can someone confirm that?

[Mimosa]

Mhhhh .... correct. I missed that one, I thought those CX bikes normally had compacts but apparently not.

My '06 Specialized Tri-Cross has a 34/48 chainring. I'd kinda like to have one more gear on the back for hills, but the front rings are just right for me. For 2007, they've come out with both double- and triple-ring models, so they're covering all the bases. I don't know what frame size or price you're looking for, but you might want to check out the Tri-Cross.
