Everyone get their Nashbar email this morning?

So after way too much over analysis, indecision, pacing too & fro etc i'm going with the Nashbar CX1 Cyclocross.

I'm also ordering their Vuelta Corsa HD wheelset and a set of 700x30 schwalbe marathon racers. I've run the marathon plus's in the past and they were fantastic but really heavy. Figured i'd give these a go.

I'm not super excited about the drive train but i've run everything from series to claris, deore & tiagra and all were rock solid reliable which is my main concern.

I haven't put a bike together since i was about 15 but I'll get through it

I think i'll go with mountain pedals and i need to pick a seat. I'm wide in the hips so i guess i need to sort that out before i place my order. *edit* i'm also ordering planet bike ff hardcore road fenders.

Anyone see any other real weak spots in this ride besides the wheelset?

Ultimately i picked it because of the CX versatility. I'll keep the stock wheelset & tires to throw on in case i do some bike camping or hit some closed logging roads this deer season. Kinda happy to have them actually.
