I love Frosh. I grow up and become sensible and they stay annoying and immature!

I totally avoided this years frosh week... No point.. I can't even talk to half these kids... I actually felt almost old seeing them going down yonge street. And I hardly ever feel old!

The more I compare cross and touring bikes, the less differences I see between them. Cross bikes are cooler though.

The Soma Double Cross is only 1cm shorter in wheelbase than the Trek 520, even though its chainstays are 2.5 cm shorter. This is good in my books as I prefer a longer front end and a snappier back end, but I hope I dont' need that extra inch of heel clearance. The Soma has a longer top tube and head tube which are also good in my books. At this point it seems more a debate on price, tubeset and colours, and the Soma wins on all of those points (Soma available used vs. Trek 520 new, tange prestige tubing vs. Trek butted Cro-Moly, british racing green vs. black). I don't think the Kona Jake, Specialized Tricross or Fuji Cross Pro have as many touring-friendly features as the Soma Double Cross so that kind of rules them out as well.

I love selling stuff to myself....
