@KnottedYet, did you also have to get a wider bottom bracket something or another? I think it's cool that it's designed to add another if needed.
@Atlas, good luck on your saddle search. I've decided to just keep the saddle it comes with vs trading it in right away for a Brooks or whatever, and see how it goes.
I will say, on a slightly different topic, that I have a Cateye Strada wireless computer for my current bike and I just ordered the parts kit for it (sensor, magnet, mounting hardware), so I can use the computer on the new bike. I also found bike shop in town that sells the handlebar mount only for my Niterider MiNewt 250 cordless headlight! This is amazing because NO bike shop around sells just the mount and NiteRider wanted to charge me $11.99 for ground shipping on a $15 part. I totally scored.
No...what to name her? I should have a contest, once I actually receive her, and post her photos and let you all help me with a name. hahaha

@Catrin, I totally agree. When I least expect it the name will come to me. I went to college with a woman named Margo Falcon, which is a very strong, yet sexy name in my opinion. Hmmm

Nope. Just bought the chainring ($19) and the shop slapped it on free of charge. Took 'em just a couple minutes. Originally Posted by Velocivixen

@Knotted, I'll definitely ask about it when I pick up my bike. Good to know. I don't do too many hills and when I do on my Trek, the lowest I typically go is 2 in the front and 1 in the back. I think I've used the smallest ring in the front one time in 10 months. It's just too exhausting for me to pedal that fast and not get anywhere fast.
