Nice upgrade.

Might I suggest a great waterbottle? I have one on my 29er and love the ease of the jet valve (that way I dont gotta go mouth to Dirt when I hit the trails) and the insulation rocks.

gotcha beat. We got 2 of them and they ARE great bottles. I like the jet valve.

Yeah, there's a big difference between just setting the seat height then sending you on your way and actually having a fitter put you on a trainer, watch you pedal, use tapes and plumb bobs, swap parts (bars, stems, etc), move cleats, etc all while measuring and monitoring.

Having a real fit done on the last bike I built definitely made a difference to me. I couldn't imagine riding 100Ks and centuries on a bike that I was not completely comfortable on.

Yea they definitely didn't do all that... I'll look into it at some point when I have the spare $ to throw at it + whatever they say I need to make the fit correct. I don't even have cleats yet. But right now we are riding ~8 miles per ride, so once we start getting up around 15 - 20 I'll start spending a little more $ to do it right.

Two vertical thumbs for you. Now hurry up and break something on your trek so you can upgrade components.

I can't either much short of tweaking a rear wheel. I let the professionals do that. If you keep knocking a wheel out of true time for a stronger set of wheels.
