So far, lots! Love it!

Here's my 1 week critique:

1. My hands go numb. It came with some kind of bg (body glove?) grips. I can't get my hands comfortable on them. Looking at horned thingy's (bar ends?) and maybe wrapping gel tape over the bg grips. I think they were made for average sized hands, not hands attached to a 6'4" guy riding the XL (61cm) bike.

2. There's a weird clicking noise when I'm pedaling. Not coasting, only pedaling. It only started a day or two ago, and wasn't bad - but riding home tonight it was noticably worse. Gonna ride it a few more days and see what happens before taking it back to the shop for an inspection. I gave it a once-over and couldn't find anything obvious (sticks, leaves, something bent, etc.).

3. Both pedal reflectors broke off within the first three days of riding the bike. I think the right one went on day 2, and the left on day 3.

That's it. I'm still working on getting the saddle adjusted, but that's not a bike thing.
