New to Bikes

[Pace]

Thanks for the advice indysteel and owlie. I'm not planning on replacing any components until wear becomes an issue. While I'm not entirely happy with the Sora components, at least they do work.

I'll look into those Kool Stop pads. One of the bike shop guys suggested Swisstop Yellows and said they will work with aluminum wheels, but I think they're going to be too aggressive for my needs.

Surprisingly the seat hasn't bothered me yet, but I also haven't gotten more than an hour at a time in on my bike. We'll see what it's like when I get some more seat time (pun not intended).

Welcome and Happy Birthday!!

Thanks!

Holy Moley!!! You got an AWESOME, INSANE deal! Congrats!

Thanks! I thought so too.
