    @Seajay - Yes, the fitter/shop I worked with made sure that there was plenty of "tweaking" room...in case, something needed to be adjusted later on. He really emphasized that because of the myriad of fit/pain issues I had on my previous bikes. I've only logged about 63 miles on it so far, so still too soon to tell if any tweaking is needed at this time. But I am loving the smoothness of Ti...it's a very different road feel than my full-carbon Cannondale.

    Someday I'd love to ride a Ti bike. A friend of ours has a Ti Seven Mudhoney that she uses as a road bike, too (she's a major fan of Ti. When she bought her Mukluk she went all out for the Ti option, too). I think she simply swaps out a 2nd set of wheels to make it easy to go back and forth from road to CX. I think my dream bike would maybe be a CX bike with disc brakes that I could do something like that with. Cantilevers scare me trying to stop from any speed, especially once they get wet or icy.

    How would you say it feels different? I was shocked by how smooth both steel and carbon feel vs. my aluminum bike on our chipsealed roads. That's where I'd really like to test Ti. My MIL's Seven is steel.
