I'm currently commuting on a Specialized Hardrock MTB, and it's bloody hard work. I prefer a road bike setup and have been looking at the Tricross (£700). anyone any views ? or alternative suggestions ?

Thanks

gerry

I had one last year for training/commuting/playing on at uni, it was good, I sold it last week infact, as the sizing is all to cock IMO, my 54cm one was 1" longer than my 56cm Trek Madone it was supposed to replica.

Nice bikes though, extremely versatile, friend of mine is a total nutter on his!

Cheers Nick. Pretty responsive as far as i can make out, but rough enough to take the odd pavement and pothole ?

When I say my friend is a nutter I mean he rides it on the North Downs.

I've seen him bunny hop gates on it, several feet high, he also shows up all the young uns on their DH bikes at the jump spot, he's certainly put at least 5 foot of air between him and the ground, and it's taken it all!

Well that beats 5 inches of pavement anyday !! Robust for sure..
