Those are great! A Triple Cross frame turned up at the co-op a few years ago, so after it sat in a pile for a few days, I adopted it. Built up with old mtb parts and drops with barends, it turned out awesome. I rode it for a while and finally gave it to a kid who rode the FOOL out of that bike until he finally moved overseas. He'd go from Atlanta to Birmingham, Atlanta to Augusta.... He'd just get on in shorts and basketball shoes and start pedaling! Awesome!
