Today I am loving this very spunky Specialised Tricross Elite Disc Compact Bike.
Whether commuting to work, exploring local single track treasures, or touring the coast with fully laden panniers, Tricross riders want the freedom to roam wherever they please—it’s their tool to explore pavement, gravel, dirt, you name it. Because of the ever-changing terrain they prefer, it’s important to have a lightweight, yet durable bike that gives them the flexibility to do it all.

MY OH MY! That looks and sounds like a damn fine piece of biking gear. I have to pin it for future reference. Drop bars, disc brakes and pannier mounts….OMG! Very nice find indeed.
