    guy at work has got one - I was out at lunch sorting his brakes and chain - no scratches that I could see - and he really abuses it. (God does he ever... took 3 goes with the chain cleaner brush set to see the original colour...)

    Maybe he saw the thread about you hankering after your boss' Tricross, so nipped out and ordered it as a surprise present for you?

    Kill your boss?

    Now some will see this as slightly extreme, but we're talking a Tricross here.

    ahhh i dont know what to do, i think i need a new bike but dont know what i want. i dont think im ready to go to the dark side of a "proper" road bike, so think the tri-cross is the winner but dont want to spend £700+

    but i did really like the look of the Condor Fratella, someone posted a pic of one on here today, it looked sweeeeet

    Stop! I only work in St Pauls, Condor is so close, they take C2W vouchers and the company scheme starts again in a month. This is dangerous talk!

    BUT.... some cracking deals in there at the moment, all the 2010 stock is being built up and flogged as complete bikes at big discounts... just go and have a look, no commitment.
