Changing bike from Road to Cyclocross

[potsy]

+1 for keeping it if possible, I love both my Spesh's (Secteur and Tricross) but they are very different beasts and once the Tricross is in full commuter mode I wouldn't want to use it as my weekend forum ride bike
Enjoy

Keep it... You know the rules... N+1

Trouble is I told the Mrs I could afford the Tricross if I sold the Allez

But,maybe,just maybe I could get round this....

I got the new one for an amazing less than half price bargain due to an error on the website

Was in Evans this week, and they had a tricross sport on display. It looks amazing in blue, with disk brakes.

I didn't really look at the spec to much.
Th blue colour does it for me much more than the white/black horror. I did like the black of past, not the brown though!

Isn't that the tricross sport or possibly last years??

I have a tricross sport and several road bikes,the tricross is the do it all bike with relaxed geometry.
By having a few set of tyres you can change it into a road bike,commuter or take it off road.Mudguards can be on or off
racks can be fitted or left off.If i only had one bike it would be the tricross.Mines is used as a tourer at the moment with rack for panniers 3 bottle cages 28mm panaracer ribmo tyres.When I was in the lbs a customer was getting a front rack fitted to the front forks,so it is also capable of taking 4 panniers.Just dont show the wife this post

Bikes now arrived and looks much more sexier in real life in black and silver (was just winding up jugglinphil )

Just going to pop out for two minutes to set her up

Its a 54cm but the bike appears a lot bigger than my Allez 54cm with the top bar on the Tricross just nudging my nuggets, where with the Allez there's plenty of clearance.

I found the same with my 54 Tricross compared to the 54 Secteur, slightly more upright riding position and a lot less seatpost showing.
