I realize that with all the parts that go into a bike the companies need a little wiggle room, but do it with some other part. I spend a lot of money on tires over the course of a year and I'd rather know what I'm getting when buying a new bike.

Anyway, otherwise we're very happy so far.

I called Specialized directly to inquire about the tire because I had specifically bought a set of Stan's Grails to run the Triggers tubeless on. They said the bike was still spec'd with the Trigger Pro and to simply return the tires to the LBS and they would replace them with the 33's until they had 38's available. I believe that was the same saddle mine initially had but it had a bend in it so the LBS swapped it to the Toupe Expert as it was the only Toupe they had in stock in my size.

I have been extremely happy with mine, both on and off the road. It has really fit the bill for me as a bike that can be ridden anywhere I want to ride.
