Curious, and I realize that Chris, back then, was exaggerating to make a point: but question to y'all: at what point do y'all draw the line? I mean this in two ways:
1. Where do *you* draw the line between a "road" bike and a "mountain" bike? What would an Atlantis be? A Sam Hill? Suspension? Drop bars? 2. And, more important, where -- what terrain and conditions -- do you, personally, (y'all) leave the sub 28 mm tire'd, drop bar'd bike at home and take out the other one? Me, I love 60 mm + tires. There is no way you'd get anything narrower than 60 mm through some of the sand I ride through; and, more, even on terrain I could manage with a road (strict sense) bike, it's still easier and more comfortable -- and therefore more enjoyable -- with fat, soft tires: 1/2 mile of washboard? Fist sized rocks? Hope soon to pry my ss drop barred 29er back out of the hands of the builder who is modifying it ...
