That is why they changed it. But it would have been nice to know. And not only did they swap it out without telling me, but they put in an aluminum post that had some kind of carbon-looking decal over it, so you couldn't tell by looking. That just seems deceptive. I'm more upset about the lazy fitting I got and how much damage I've been doing to myself all this time.

Seacoast Century sounds nice. I have friends in the area, I could find a place to crash/shower/eat.

Two weeks in Italy, and we are looking into renting bikes in the first town we're in. There are supposedly a bunch of nature trails there that are nice to explore.
