Making up a cross bike...

I have a Dawes Galaxy with Cantilever brakes. I fancy a Cross bike, but don't want to spend much. Would there be much difference in stripping the guards and racks off and fitting cross tyres versus buying a used cross bike?

    What do you want a cross bike for ? Racing ? Where are you riding it ?

    Mixed winter rides on road and Forest and possible some light touring.No races.

    Keep the galaxy as it is or maybe add stouter tyres. You dont want cross tyres for your rides.
