Specialized Tricross Sale

Picked mine up today, very impressed with the quality so far.

ps can anyone comment on the need for a lockring on the fixed sprocket. Guys at Pearson said not to bother with one?

I think you mean the single sprocket freewheel it (supposedly) comes with as standard. So no lockring needed.
A fixed cog would def. need a lock ring. You wouldn't ride far without noticing, I would say.
