OK, so I am a recently returned roadie who rides 100-120 miles per week. I live in Seattle, so I know road weather won't last forever, and I've always wanted a cross bike. So, how does one fit a cross bike? I ride a 60cm c-t (57cm, c-c), 58.5 cm tt, and 11 cm stem. I like to stretch out and have a long torso. How would this relate to a cyclocross bike? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

equivalent TT. shorten (1C) and flip stem or just flip stem. find ST a tad shorter to compensate for lager tires, higher BB so you have some space for the boys. you don't want as much of a stretch on a cxer as it doesn't help offroad.
