What are the differences between a cross bike and a touring bike? Is it just eyelets for mudguards and that sort of thing, or are there more fundamental differences in geometry etc?
I have just had my first ever double puncture due to the road surface. I had to walk best part of a mile in bare feet (damn Time cleats) before the wife reached me with the car (the Shame).
I am thinking of having a do-it-all bike built in perhaps titanium? A touring/cross set up with slightly tighter clearances than normal running a 25 road tyre would seem the ideal starting point.
What do you think?
