The handlebar was massive for my size, so I removed it rightaway. I had a spare Most Talon intergrated bar for my road bike. Am using that for now, and love it.

My a$$ is used to the Prologo Zero, and I had a spare one. So, I swapped that too.

Also, I read some reviews on the crankset that was included, so I swapped that with a Miche (didn't research enough at the time, otherwise would've gone for Sugino, LOL).

The frame fits great for me right now. I'm totally comfortable on it. The possible future upgrades I can think of are better wheels, and a Sugino chainring. Again, for now, that's not a must.

I didn't go full-carbon for my first track frame, as I've heard of the little falls for a newbie like me that can damage the frame. I don't repent that decision. I'll ride this for a year or two, and then decide on how my upgrade-itch is faring.
Just wondering if you are experiencing any creaking near the bottom bracket? I have an '09 Sonik and mine creaks a little. Bike has been torn down all the way to the BB being removed and inspected.
