I do love the SS and will always use it for my commute (its flat 99% of the way)

But on weekends when I ditch the panniers and take it out for a sping around the lanes near my house I top out all the time and wish I had more gears to really go for it.

But I suppose its like any bike, I dont need one, and will probably not ride it often, but since the number of bikes required is the number of bikes already owned plus one, I think I will have to get one.

I am also wanting another SS road bike as I dont like the alu frame on the tricross, I want something in steel.

Please explain that to my girlfriend.

No problem, then you can explain it to mine..

Just the other night I had "if yours bikes are so good, why cant they live outside in the garden"  I mean......imagine

Morning all.

The Tricross now sounds like the bottom bracket is on the way out, much clicking when putting power down.

Its a sealed unit, Do you reckon it something else that should be a warranty claim ?

Or should I try and regrease or get a new/better one ?
