I did go with the tempo. I just got it on Saturday and went for about a 6 mile ride. The bike is in pretty good shape but I definitely need a new seat! It has a Selle Royal Viper on it, not sure if its good or not but it definitely hurts! I think I'm going to get a Brooks B-17. I also want to get clipless pedals for it... any recommendations on those? I would prefer pedals that would also allow me to ride w/ regular shoes just in case I want to ride to school and not use my bike cleats. I really want to re-paint it, its a light blue right now, but I think I'll leave it. (its the color of bikedued's prelude above) I also want to get break levers that allow me to put the break lines under grip tape... any ideas of what I should go with for those? I'll get some pics up soon, but I'm in the middle of studying for finals! thanks for all the help!
