Well, mine came in today. I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

The seat and front brake that I put on the bike were stock on my 2010 Trek 1.2 road bike. I also changed the crankset to a SRAM S300 Courier. I had it laying around, I planned on using it on my cx bike but it didn't fit.

The next thing that needs to be changed is the cog, as 48x15 is not very good. At 84.4 gear inches the bike is fast, but I can't backpedal to save my life. Good thing the front brake works really good.
