So a new saddle may be required. Or a change of the stem-height and/or angles. So forth.
Yeah, that's a good point to.

You should still ride the bike though before upgrading those components IMO. I've ridden decent stock setups before that didn't require adjustments. Heck, I still have the stock saddle on my Sirrus.
