Thanks! Yeah, she's kinda purty.... I'm embarrassed to admit I sit on the floor next to my bikes and admire them.

I had thought about a LHT, so I could do some fully loaded touring eventually. But... I rode the Cross Check and fell in love. Couldn't wait for the LBS to build up a LHT that I might try (they usually have one or two built up and ready to ride). Had to have the Cross Check RIGHT THEN! (well, no, I went back and rode it again for about 14 miles a week later and THEN I bought it.)
Realistically, I'll probably never really do full touring, and the rear panniers I can put on the C C will be enough."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

thanks
hey thanks for all your replies, much appreciated-I'm still struggling to decide, does anybody know how much it would cost extra to get an extend able stem put on a cyclo cross ? Iv got my eye on two cyclocross bikes;KONA JAKE THE SNAKE(or sutra) and SPECIALIZED TRICROSS 2008, all are on evanscycles.com but I cant really tell the difference in the spec-does anyone have any tips on what to look out for? I cant seem to work out the gears and I feel this is very important,cheers
