Strengths: Good looking fast light perfect entry level.Weaknesses: Had a front brake recall and replace fork all repairs covered.Bottom Line: Awesome bike, rookie rider with no experience wanted multi function bike to help get started riding.

Strengths: Responsive/fast yet very stable.
Rides/shifts great.
Tire wear.
Rack/lugage capable.Weaknesses: Can't think of any.Bottom Line: Best bike I've owned. Great all around bike for recreational riding, commuting, century rides, light touring. Rides and shifts great. Resonsive yet stable so I prefer it to my old road bike (if I unexpectedly hit sand/gravel or potholes, I no longer think much about it - with my road bike I'd be freaking out). I've never been so motivated to get out and ride in all kinds of conditions. Tires are wearing better than the road bike. Couldn't be more satisfied. Love the look of the large, chrome hubs.
Favorite Ride: Red Rocks, Dinosaur Ridge west of Denver
Price Paid:
$1500.00

Similar Products Used: Lemond Road bike.
Bike Setup: Factory original with rear rack added.

Strengths: except above mention a great road bike for rust belt roads. rided and handles very well on our anything but silky smooth michigan roads. love it on trails as well.Weaknesses: above mentioned garbage shimano shifter. will not buy another bike with shimano nor replace this transmission with one.Bottom Line: have now logged several trousand miles on this bike. overfall a very good ride. but one major beef.the drivetrain has been prone to shift on its own since the warranty went out of course.saw same complaint in another review. have changed chain and sprocket.bike shop has been very accommodating but as of yet no help from specialized. was pedaling up a steep hill with my cycling group when then drivetrain once again shifted itself and locked up.the result was a fall in which i was skinned up and almost run over by another cyclist.shop i bought it from has been very accomodating . a couple of the employeessaid they have been made aware of similar problems on other machines with the 27 speed ultegra mountain bike trannie .i will be replacing it with another system at considerable expense.this system is flawed and i have the scars to prove it.888

Strengths: Light, easy to shoulder
Smooth, seamless shifting
Great steering, very responsive
Nice blend of aluminum and carbon in frame
Bosses for racks and fendersWeaknesses: Burrough CX tires very thin - easy to punctureBottom Line: Got a great deal on a 2009 TriCross Comp at Cynergy Cycles in Santa Monica, and was blown away by the ride. I commute about 16 miles a day (round trip) through downtown Los Angeles and was looking for a comfortable, durable ride. Previous bike was a Specialized Crossroads hybrid that was tough as nails but heavier than a tank. The Comp has a very comfortable geometry, has well spec'ed components, and a great wheel set. Mine is stock with the exception of a set of Shimano PD M524 pedals - love the matte black, silver color scheme as well.
Have about 1200 miles on the bike in six months and have had no major problems to speak of.

Strengths: Tough as old boots - great wheels - comfortable frames. Swift. Good general purpose gearing.Weaknesses: Borough CX tyres that come with it are useless - puncture horribly and often - seem to seek out thorns. Also original brake pads are poor - replaced with Kool Stop and it's like having new brakes.Bottom Line: Bought to replace old Edinburgh Cycles tourer that I was suffering from abuse as a long distance commuting and fitness training. The TC Comp is excellent - as fast as most road bikes in the real word of potholed roads, headwinds, rain and traffic - but it can also (with the right tyres) go off the beaten track better than most MTBs. All in all - the a do it all pretty well bike
