I went with the Tricross myself. I'll tell you how it is in a few weeks when it arrives. A team discount made a difference in my decision though. I thought about the crud roadracers but I really wanted full fenders to keep both myself and the bike cleaner in the rain. The geometry will be different, but I think it'll work out fine. The longer wheelbase should help my toes clear the fenders and heel clear any rack. I should be able to set up the cockpit just like my Tarmac too, which will be nice.
