From speaking to their web team - they have 2 in stock in either Berkley or San Francisco.

If anyone knows a bike shop that carries a 58cm 2010 Tricross Expert - please let me know.

I might call these guys and see if they can ship that bike to their store so I can test ride it. Since I am 6'1 - the difference between a 56cm and a 58cm is so small - I almost feel like I should go with the 56cm.

[Update] - Specialized is completely out of stock on the 58cm Specialized Tricross Expert - Only hope now is that a store somewhere in the US has one in stock somewhere.

Thanks for the info, but I just came home with a 54cm Expert. It too was on sale ($1899). I wasn't really ready to buy it, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find one in my size later in the fall or spring, so I just went for it. But, hey, it's always fun to have a new bike!! Yay me.
