I got a raise at work and sold my Trek 520 on CL recently. Traded it for a 2012 Giant TCX2 Cyclocross bike. I know, I know...even DH said I am crazy. This bike fits me perfectly though. I now know what it feels like to be one with the bike rather than feeling like I am just riding on top of it. I have never felt more comfy on a bike.

The Trek 520 was an awesome bike...just too big for me. Also, I do not believe I will ever actually go on any bike tours. I was pretty stretched out on it, even with a super short stem.

I am super interested in trying some CX races. We actually have a few that are really close to my house. I plan to wait until next season because I have a groin injury from jumping out of the back of DH's truck bed, and landing wrong a few weeks ago. I plan to just take it easy for now.

I love the Giant TCX2 so far. I am going to use it as my commuter and CX bike. It is black with a few silver accents but, I think I may add some pink to it later on, to give it some femenine flair
