10 speed cassete with a compact or triple crankset?
triple crankset shimano 52/42/30. Im looking to change that as well. This is when it begins to add up as the trek hybrids seems to have better components built in. Obviously the premium im buying into is the cyclocross body frame because im going to be lifting this bike every time i uses (up 5 flights of stairs since i live on the top floor of a building with no elevator and ill be going up and down stairs in the subway with it) with the versatility of it being able to use wide tires for when the need of off roading comings into play. A pure road bike wouldn't be able to take the thick tires a cyclocross bike can.
