- frame size - this is obvious. give us some dimensions (height, inseam)
- color, obvious
- saddle, just do no change unless you want a brown one or something
- stem size, you may need to play around with this to get a fit, like a shorter stem on a bigger size or a longer stem with a smaller size if you are in the middle
- handlebar, width (if you have wide shoulders/ narrow or bullhorns)
- crankarm, depending on hills. 165 flatland but you may want to go 170 for more leverage if you are in a hilly area
- chainring and cog will determine your ratio. pick one for the area that suits you best
- freewheel, obvious

I'm 6' with a 31" inseam so I am thinking the 55cm frame
stem - I have no idea
I'm thinking the bullhorns as I have pretty wide shoulders
Mostly flat around here so the 165 crankarm may be good - you can see some of my runs if you click the "Runkeeper Stats" link in my sig
chainring and cog - I am thinking 18 for the cog, not sure about the chainring though
Anyway, I'll give them a ring if I decide to order
Thanks again,
