I would not fancy an alu fork off road, flex is good!

I ride a Charge Mixer which is ace for the commute but another of this type of bike to chuck in the mix is a Jamis Bosanova.

A tourer really but a nice looking bike with lots of clearance for big tyres and a reasonable price too.

Another Tripster owner here:

Shimano 105 + BB7 roads.

I've not tried the BB5s, but I found it hard enough to get the BB7s adjusted even with adjusters on both sides. STI levers really don't pull very much cable so even with road-specific Avids it's quite hard to get the balance between not rubbing and not bottoming out the brake levers.

I ended up building my own wheels. Shimano M525 hubs, DT Swiss Competition spokes, DT Swiss R450 rims.
