I switched out the seat, handlebars, tires, and shifters on mine all from personal preference, but overall the stock build is pretty good. They changed the tires that come on stock to continental town and countries from the big apples, so that may be something to look at. My lbs will switch things out St msrp so I came in close to the cost of a compete. Sorry about the wait till June, a guy and I got two of the last 22" from qbp till June too. Going fast this year. I know the other guy in passing and the first thing that he's doing is upgrading the tires.
