I've been looking at the Tricross. It looks like a great bike. The only thing I don't like about it is the tall head tube. If you like your bars low, this may not be the best bike for you. This means you can't really go as fast as you want to. Sure you can put a stem with a drop to it, but you will be limited to how much drop because of the cantilever cable stop. You could run mini-V's and get rid of the stop all together. I am in-between sizes so this model does not look like a good fit for me.
