Well, my criteria was ease/cost of change. I tend to think that things like saddle and pedals are easier and cheaper to change than wheels and forks. I'm not as locked into a saddle or pedal as much as I am with the other parts. Most bikeshops will swap saddles and pedals on the spot. Thus I list those other components higher on the descrimination scale. Think about it this way: Given two bikes where bike A has a saddle you don't like and bike B has wheels that you don't like but everything else between them is the same. Which bike would be the easiest to get to a situation where you'd accept the bike?
