I'm trying to decide if I want to modify this bike, or just buy another. Maybe a sirrus or giant escape. I really wanted the older type forks that kind of bend forward at the end so they have a little give. Like this, 700c Simpleone Fork They have others as well. I don't know if they would work on this bike. And they don't use disc brakes.
The suspension fork is why people buy the crosstrail IMHO. There are a bunch of excellent hybrids out there without the suspension fork. The sirrus would be an excellent choice. It comes in several full carbon varieties and if I were ever going to ditch the front suspension, i suspect a sirrus comp carbon would be my new ride.
