I focus a lot on my Cross Checks because they’re the perfect geo for me, one is go to work bike which we see in this thread, the other hangs in the cyclocross/Gravel thread. The reality is though the second the weather turns cold or my abused back flairs the Karate Monkey becomes my bestie. The bike has evolved but the reality is that this is the bike I ride when I’m on the verge of driving.
