its a rather common complaint on the tricross, and one that can apparently be fixed. In some cases, folks have changed the brake brand, pad type, even switching to V brakes and many have found relief. sometimes, adjusting the toe in helped. and sometimes not.

There are even posts on the forum that specialized has replaced some of the chattering tricross tricross forks with the sworks tricross fork, and the chatter has dissappeared. I have the sworks tricross frame with different wheels and brakes and pads than the non s-works tricross bikes. this fork is beefier, and it hasn't chattered on me (and I am not a l'il feller, i weight 210), but then i dont have the same braking surface, pads or brakes either.

I'd keep the bike, its a good one. there is a fix, and maybe just an adjustment will do it.
