I'm buying a new bike as my mountain bike is too slow/heavy and the racer too fragile for roads locally. Was looking at hybrids for a while, cannondale and specialized have some decent, lightweight ones out...
...and then I spotted this tricross bike, which is kind of halfway inbetween - basically a toughened racer by the looks of it. I want something with a good top speed and able to handle a bit of offroad - has anyone bought tricross/cyclocross bikes - or a fast hybrid before?
For versatility and speed which would you go for, a fast/racing hybrid or a cyclocross bike?
Oh, one more thing - the top end gear ratio on the tricross is lower than I'm used to - would fitting a higher end cassette make the difference?
