Not sure which forum to post in, but thought i'd give it a shot in the forum i read the most!!

after moving on a roadbike. I've been in a dilemma with what to do with my Spesh Sirrus elite hybrid.

Do I keep it for the odd crap weather day?
Do I sell it?

or...

After thinking about what kind of biking i would do in addition to road, I thought i would be more likely to need an off-roader to go with the kids on light off-road biking.

So, scratch the first reason for keeping it! and narrow it to either

Sell it (to fund a MTB, or cyclocross)
or
Stick some cyclocross tyres on and job done!

My question(s) therefore are...... Is this do-able [what would i need to do]? & has anyone done it before?

or am i just being daft?!

Felt VR5 - "winter"
Trek Triton Singlespeed - "commuter"

    doubt youd even need new tyres unless your kids are particularly adventurous ?
