Anybody familiar with Specialized Tricross Sport?

Thanks for the replies...I like what I have read so far on the bike...seems to be pretty positive. Yes tulip...long commute. Unfortunately it is long enough that I can't do it everyday. Would like to move in closer to work about eight to ten miles.

I have a tricross sport with compact gearing (I think that's what it's called with two rings in the front?), although I changed out the cassette for a mtb cassette to help with the hills (there are a lot of them around here). I use it all the time for all kinds of things as it is my only bike. I have it kitted out with mudguards and rack for panniers for when I'm commuting to work. I've also done some long distances (ALC twice, 550 miles down the coast of CA). And I've even taken it on some trails and it handles gravel and dirt paths just fine too. A very versetile bike, comfortable and light enough for long distances and practical enough for commuting and tough enough for that shortcut through the woods. I would highly recommend it as long as the geometry fits you.

Thanks UK elephant! I think I am definitely going to get one...my SO wants one too. So exciting to have made a decision. Now to just figure out how to pay for it.
