Life in the Bus Lane

There is a 61cm Specialized Tricross Singlecross on order with my name on it.

I’ve been after a replacement for the Langster for a while, it’s slightly too short for me, and I’d like something with more clearance so I can fit fatter tyres and use it on the canal towpath and for light off-road. I’d ruled out the obvious On-One Pompino on the grounds that even the XL one is way too short for me, and the Surly Crosscheck would have worked out too expensive.

Then I came across the Tricross. Size wise it looks almost perfect, although I might need to fit a slightly shorter stem. Even better though, I’ve been offered one for a very agreeable price. The plan is to do a bit of part swapping, then sell the Langster to recoup part of the cost.
