Yep. My Colnago Prestige CX is being built up as an all road bike, unlike my LiteSpeed Blue Ridge, which only achieved all road status when i put 35mm tires on it. That bike got a further boost into all road status when I swapped the cast iron Winwood fork out for an Alpha Q fork. I would rebuild my unicorn Colnago Master CX as an all road, but it won't fit 38 mm tires and it doesn't have water bottle bosses.
Note, the LiteSpeed is the only one of my 'cross, er I mean all road bikes that has rear rack bosses. It must have been designed for multi-day all road work, whereas the others were designed for competitive or sports all roading.
And of course, my daily driver, carwise, is an Audi allroad. It would be an A6 avant, but it has bigger tires. Seriously...
