'06 Tricrosses are nice, but speccing a triple for '07 (from compact crank) is silly, considering if you want to race the thing. Commuting with it fine, but the Sport is heavy. Another Sport owner pointed out the Fuji Cross Comp '06 as a good alternative. Lighter, cheaper and very similar spec. Check it out. I have an '06 TriX Comp, but I really wish Specialized kept the line simpler for '07, carbon frame or not.
