Summary:
When I deciding to get into cycling, I looked around for quite a while and rode several diffrent bikes to find out exactly what kind of bike i was looking for.I rode several hard core road bike, some commuters , and thne started looking at cyclecross bikes. The cycle cross bikes looked like they would give me some flexability and options for riding areas that a straight up road bike couldnt, and it opend up the roads like my moutian bike wouldnt.I rode several other bikes , then, I rode the Specialized Tricross and was done. This bike provides a very confortable riding position and yet is agressive enough to really hammer out some miles.The folks at my local bike shop set this bike up exactly for me using the BG system and Ive been riding it ever simce . To date I have several hundred miles on it and like it more every time I go for a ride.In motorcycling a dual sport bike is commonly called a bike that represents the worst of both trail/dirt riding and street. The Tricross can not be lumped into that catagory, it preforms very well and the street and can handle gravle/loose trails without a problem.

Strengths:
Fleaxility in terrain it can handle, its respnsive to inputs while cornereing, light weight, style -

Weaknesses:
So far none -
