thanks for all of the kind comments! I did lower the seat and tighten the quill bolt. but when I was taking pictures I noticed that they removed one of my bottle holders, so i need to find the screws to reattach that now.

one thing I was not counting on was the change in hood length. I think it makes my reach extra long, but I will have to wait and see. I have a 60mm stem if that is the case. I just did not want to shorten too much too quickly. plus that cinelli stem is beautiful.

How cool! I have a 2 year old trek 520 and LOVE it (of course, I find that I love all my bikes). Seriously, they're just cool bikes They do just about everything!!

But oh man - I couldn't ride with that saddle angle Otherwise, Beautiful bike - glad you're revitalized it

Ooo, your chain is so shiny now!

Have fun!

[Chicken Little]

Beautiful! But I agree- how about that saddle angle- is that comfortable for you?

if you are talking about in the before pictures, yes. I had it adjusted perfectly. I was pounding down 40 and 50 mile rides no problem. But now with the new reach and whatnot, it is not. I have been trying to adjust it all night but I can't figure it out.
