And I agree with you, too. In the 80s, I re-purposed a couple old road frames for winter cyclocross riding. One winter I even re-purposed a crash-damaged Vitus 979 frame as possibly one of the worst cyclocross bikes. It was an ill-conceived plan, and I was a no-nothing, broke teenager clueless enough to pinch the stays on an aluminum frame for added tire clearance. It did last the winter and it was a light burden over the shoulder. I think my dad eventually scrapped the frame after I moved away to college—the fate of my first-ever race bike/frame, and probably for the best.
A friend of mine used to race an A.L.A.N. cyclocross bike. When he speaks of it, he gets a twinkle in his eye.
