track grips, but did like the extra grip area out in "the wild"

fair enough, are the bars as thin as they look or is that just the grips? i personally can't get on with skinny bars

theyre 23" wide, so not very thin but not very wide either, but trying to squeeze through tight traffic with wide bars was hard

23"?? that's huge Razz most wide bars are about 17"! sure you've not mixed your measurements up or do you mean 13"? it's nice hopping in and out traffic though with a street bike with wide bars, nice and agile

What tyres are they? Stable in the mud?

continental speed kings, and sort of, well not really, the mud i was in was super slippy, but i stayed upright, and the slipping around is all part of the fun!

Well at least you stayed upright huh?! Sounds like fun, might invest in a pair of the Conti tyres

i only got these because they were cheap, got them for £5 from our resident cross racer at work, as he just bought tub rims so im trying to say i wouldnt necessarily buy these if i was looking new, how wide can you go in your frame and fork?

I'm running 32s at the minute I think, got masses of clearance so could cope with a lot bigger!
