Now I'm trying to figure out which parts to swap for what (saddle and bars, pedals, etc.).
Wow, Yen, what a journey you've had finding a bike that works for you. I love your analogies. What are you going to do with the Roubaix?

I'll be curious to see how you like the LHT. Hope things are good over on the BF50+. I haven't been there in a while.
