Ack! It's so ... stock! The only original parts on mine are the brakes and seatpost! I'm currently running Albatross bars, Suntour barcons, 24/36/46 Deore crank, cartridge BB, Lambda pedals, cheapie springy saddle, 700c wheels with 38mm tires (we have horrid roads in my area) .....

Though, I will say that for me, the Alyeska frame may be pretty nearly perfect. My complaints about the frame are limited to the lack of a kickstand plate, BB being a touch high for convenient stop/go around town, and the old level toptube/low-stack headset combo that makes it harder to get the bars up high. And I find it rides really, really comfortably either completely unladen or with a 40# kid on the back plus a bunch of junk in baskets on the front, and I can ride it either at a walking pace or in top gear on a flat with equal comfort. Feels totally steady either way, and it's somehow easier to pedal than anything else I've had. I just can't believe I didn't know a bike could be this comfortable until I was about 30!

Since I've done so much around-town riding with a rear child seat, and expect to do still more in the future (kid #2 is currently 7 mos.), I've thought of getting a Raleigh Wyoming mixte frame and swapping all my parts over, and maybe even doing a 650b swap since it uses sidepulls, but the right opportunity has yet to present itself.
