Having sold the Pickenflick, Tricross has become my main bike for bashing through the hilly woods of my neighbourhood. There was literally just one day this winter with any measurable snow, so I didn't use the studded tyres at all. Instead swapped them for 700x40c Conti AT Ride, as 700x42c Smart Sams were rubbing the chainstays. Also fitted my main saddle (Spesh Toupe Comp Gel)
I really enjoy the singlespeeding, although 38:19 is quite punishing on 6%+ gradients around.
