Specialized Tricross Sale

I struggled over this one.
I cannot justify another bike, but at this price it seemed just too good to miss.
So I just ordered one.
Plan is to sell some of my massive collection of bits on flea bay to balance the books.

Just hope Mrs J doesn't notice.

Toodle pip

Hmmm ditto, and ditto, but haven't ordered/bought it yet.

I got a Genesis Flyer just over a year ago on a Ride2Work scheme but have never Ridden2Work on it... its too pretty and white to leave locked outside work to the vandals and thieves!

And in the meantime I've bought a Cervelo frame to build up for serious road riding.

But now what I use to ride to work: my 5 year old no-name Chinese Imperial' brand 75-quid-when-new is-maintenance-free-and-would never-be-stolenMountain Bike' (says Mountain Bike' on the top tube so it must be true!?) is -really- giving up the ghost so I need *something* for the 2 mile commute. The bottom bracketbearings' are now rainwater and mud, the chain and teeth are so worn I can't put more than 2 watts of power into it without skipping, and now the tires are gone.

It would shock the Missus to tell her of a 3rd bike purchase in just over a year! But I can see the TriCross s/s being useful to ride off road along the canal etc as well as commuting....so I may bite the bullet and risk the scorn.
