Careful with the kickstand mounting. I originally ordered my bike with a kickstand. But then during the fitting process at the LBS, I discovered that my heel kept clipping the edge of the kickstand during the normal pedal stroke. So they refunded me for the kickstand and I bought one of those "display stand" type stands instead.

Not having a kickstand is annoying, though. I park in underground parking. If I want to load the bike into my car, I have to take 2 separate trips down the elevator to parking. First trip takes the stand down, and then a separate trip to bring the bike, put it into the stand, remove the wheel so it fits into the back, etc. Afterward, I have to take 2 separate trips back up, one with the bike, one with the stand.
