As above really. My LBS has the basic Tricross on offer for 550.
How does it compare to a true cx bike, and how does it handle the rough stuff?
Cheers
Or if anyone got a cx bike to fit a 5 ft7 person, for about same money, let me know 🙂
My mate has one - nice bike and rides nicely - OK for offroad depending on your skill levels - skinny tyres and drop bars will allways be limiting
You know my skill level 🙂 We rode together at Glentress, end of summer night ride, remember.
guy at work has one. Looks nice though more of a burly commuter feel than a CX bike (compared to my Kona Jake the Snake). He has wide slick tyres and mud guards on it though.
🙂
My mate is a newbie 🙂 I only had a wee spin on it and it seemed a nice bike but I wouldn't want to do much more than forest roads on it. He did cope with some green standard trails tho
I've got a tricross disc. It's:
Much faster than an MTB up hills.
Much much faster on the flat.
Great at mud-plugging thanks to the longer wheelbase.
Stable and smooth as a winter trainer but a little heavy (no bad thing).
But...
Not too good on rocky downhills.
