St Awful does indeed have a decent brew in Tribute, but for me Skinners Cornish Knocker wins out down here! I believe the Harvey's tour is a good'un....I did it many years ago and have only vague recollections so it must have been good! Damn .....I've been found out....one of the keys to proper...

You're absolutely right, I ran some marathons on the old MTB before I got the tricross, made a huge difference but didn't over come the gear ratio issue whilst on the road...I also have a Dahon mu sl folder with shwalbe slicks....I once rode it home ...NEVER AGAIN comical yes, but NEVER AGAIN...

Like the thought....but if I go with more power (the endeavour is a 28mph rated bike?) I may as well go the whole hog and dust off the old triumph...so there is a balance to be struck. I've also had enough bike accidents over years to try and keep legal....the rozzers would not even think about...

Thanks...and you're absolutely right...but I go from sea level to sea level, so for every up there is a down....this should considerably help the range, but I am intended to charge both ends in any case!

Thanks all...I had seen the morphed cross into 'street' which in my mind is questionable, as a true cross is just that...tough enough for 'not street'...which is what started my queries....why change it to 'street'? It is pretty steep in places, I make the climb maybe 60% of the time on my...

Hi, the usual issue of dodgy knees, and age has afforded me the opportunity to look for a pedelec, I normally commute on a specialized tricross over very mixed terrain, for a 18m each way trip. From extreme steep off road (but perfectly passable on a tricross style) to long steady on road...
