kimct "So, I guess I want roadbike handlebars and handling, with mt bike tires. What kinda bike is that? Could I go with semi-slicks? Are there thicker tires for roadbikes?"
Kimct, My neice had the same question. Her commute takes her off-road on trails (lucky gal) but also on roads so she needs knobby or slightly knobby tires, but she also wants to do an organised distance ride or two where a mtn. bike could be heavy and larger wheels may help.
After much debate she bought a cross bike which is precisely what you describe. When she does the AIDS ride we'll simply put slicks on it.

Lots of great cross bikes, on my "lust list" would be a Surly Cross Check. Yeah, like I'm going to buy another bike.
