How much was the invisible chain mod? Looks like a great set up!

I've got a about 1/10th the miles you do on mine but I find your review to be very close to how I feel. Especially on the aspects of ride. It just goes where you point it and on the downhills I've never felt anything like it. Simply amazing. I would depart a little on the ride over crappy pavement, my impression is that it's smoother than my old steel bike.

I really haven't had any issues with the seat cap though, you've got to hold the seat pretty tight and really crank down the torque but it works fine for me. Of course I'm using the stock seat so that may be the difference.

The Node 2 is super cool, I spend too much time staring at it with all the info it can dish out.

In all, I love the bike as well.
