Re: Using a Marin Lombard CX (cyclocross) as a touring bike?

Thanks all for your opinions. My main concerns are if there will be heel clearance on the cyclocross bike and whether weight at the back will limit steering control. Does anyone have any experience of this and know a way to judge if this is likely to be a problem before buying? Thanks.

Using a Marin Lombard CX (cyclocross) as a touring bike?

Hello,

I am thinking of buying a second hand Marin Lombard CX (cyclocross bike) tomorrow under the pretence of using it as a touring bike. I don't know a lot about these things and wondered if anyone can advise whether such a bike would be suitable for touring?

Thank you,
With best wishes,
John.
