Need a new bike. Torn between a Surly Cross Check and an All City Space Horse.
Open to other suggestions as well.
I just need a versatile all rounder to get my ass around the city. Hauling groceries, commuting, 4 hour rides, and just taking it for joy rides. So mounts for all kinds of racks/fenders are something i really want. Wider tire clearance is nice i guess but I doubt i'll ever need anything over 32mm.
Also something bulletproof. Steel frame, can frankenstein all sorts of parts when something breaks.
But also importantly fun. Most of the time the bike is gonna be spent being flung through traffic so I don't want to get something that feels tanky like a touring bike. Something nimble and fun
open to any recs, but it's best if it's specialized/cannondale/trek/surly/all-city/salsa because its what the bike shop i work for carries.
