Hi everyone,
After a relatively low accumulation of km with the TL last year, I'm back with a bang. Out pretty much every day off road. Because of where I live in the Alps I was considering maybe looking at a Creo Evo to enjoy the mountain roads. But it's not a small investment... So, I have started trying some mixed asphalt offload rides with the TL. Got me thinking, it has the power I like, I love the full suspension comfort and the position is great though not particularly aero. Anyone bought a second set of wheels with gravel/touring tyres mounted to make a true all rounder? Thinking further, I was wondering what if I stuck a Surly Corner Bar on too? Now that's something else.. three times the power of a Creo, less rolling rolling resistance than a TL with std tyres, a relatively easy bar swap, high comfort levels, a perfect one machine all rounder for a fraction of the investment of a new bike... or am I just mad in the head... anyone like to share any similar experiences, negative or positive? Thanks
