So I'm not the type that usually names bike - cars etc., but I've been calling this the dinky bike or dinky for short and it seems to have stuck. I have decided to buy it - To get a cross bike that *really* fits right I'd have to go custom. Small can be modified, too big not so much. Until I see how much I like doing this, I'm not prepared to spend the $2,500 - $3,000 it would take to go there. The scary thing is that except for the size of the wheels its not too much different from my road bike. Guess that is telling about how short I am.....
(oh - and I found out that there are 24" BMX race wheels so I do have a bit of choice for decent tires and they are cheap to boot - like $15-$20 each cheap)
I've missed Cycle U's cross clinic and there's not another one for a while, but there are drop in clinics at Woodland park - taught by the #1 cross rider in Washington too, so I'm going to give that a try.
