Not expecting it to be much slower on the road than a normal road bike once the tyres and pedals are changed for the summer months but I suppose it depends on who's riding it

 

[Nomadski]

You can get flat pedal bases that clip into the spd pedals. @Nomadski has some really smart ones but i can't find a link for them, they're a bit like https://www.flypedals.com/ but a lot nicer.

It is actually those ones I have! Fly Pedals 2. Clip together when you aren't using them.

Here's mine. Same model as yours but Fabric saddle, Look pedals, a set of Hunt 4-Season wheels and 28mm Conti 4-Season tyres. It's been firmly pressed into winter duties and is perfect for the job.

That's a nice setup and you've also got mudguards on it as well, gonna go have a look at those tyres. Are the look pedals mtb or road pedals

 

[mooseracer]

Yes the guards are SKS Bluemels.

The Look pedals are road pedals.

Sounds like it'd be fair to say you're all happy with your purchases? Am tempted by one myself to cover some trail riding and light touring.

 

[Levo-Lon]

I prefer mine with the wider mtb bars and semi slicks..yes its the team but i may make it a 1x11 ..
good bike for sensible money

as said protect from cable rub ect..

That's a really nice looking bike, nice colour as well

I don't get the point of 1X11. Why suffer from a low top gear if your going to use it on the road? I discounted the new CX of this reason.

Does anyone know the gearing details? What is the range in gear inches?

I was out with "Phil the Hill" and 4 others on new years eve and he was on his Cx team. When he arrived I took a look at the bike with the 38c tyres and thought "no probs keeping up with you".... How wrong was I

The top gear is not lower than the team roadbike it's slightly higher

 

[nickr]

The average bike is 50/11 ie higher. Never mind the much smaller steps between gears, all worth having.
