It's a bit of a pickle.
For what it's worth: pedals that you put on this bike can be moved when you eventually pick a different bike. (guess how I know this?) I also moved my upgraded saddle when I got a new bike, though I eventually decided that it didn't work as well for me with the new riding position. DH has raided my slick tires now that he's commuting, and stuck me with his on my old bike -- knobbier ones, doggone it! Not that I ride that one real often, cuz I really enjoy my new road bike!

It's worth making this bike as nice a ride as possible while you're deciding what kind of rider you are. It didn't take me long to decide that I am NOT a mountain biker, no matter how much DH thinks he wants me to be, and that a road bike is more my style, even if I'm not really a speed freak! Well, not yet anyway!
