Hi,
I don't see lot of information going on about this bike. Maybe 1-2 weeks ago I saw it already on a UK web site but they removed it.. however, i did copy paste the information before they deleted it.
I heard somewhere that the MSRP price of the Tricross Sport '11 would be around 1250 US like the Crux elite.. There is a lot of similarity between this new tricross and the crux.
I must tell you that i was really looking to buy a Tricross Sport '10 but they are saleout in my region so i'm thinking about getting the new one.. I intend to use it to go work, for fun (trails, a bit of road and maybe a little cyclotourism). So.. What do you think of the bike and the Spec.
The differences between the 2010 and 2011 seem to be: No Zertz insert + no rack fitting on the fork, Mavic CXP22 instead of Alex ACE-19, Cassette 11-32t instead of the 12-25, and of course the internal cable routing.. Geometry seems different too but i dont have it.. And 150-200$ approx more than the '10
So what do you think? Would you give it a try and does it worth the difference?
Thanks!
