I have made the following changes to my 2014 Giant Escape 0 which I purchased several months ago.

1. Nashbar rear rack.
2. Cateye computer
3. Platform pedals
4. Brooks B17 saddle
5. Ergon GP3 grips
6. Cut half inch off handlebars
7. Kick stand....I tried but couldn't do without it. I love kickstands.
Of all the changes i have made, the Ergon grips stand out. Wonderful comfort, many hand positions, and quality product when installed correctly. The Brooks saddle I just received, so too early to review. I will be adding some Panaracer Pasela 32mm tires in the future. O yea, I think I better get a bell...I'm spooking way too many walkers.
