Well, this is my new ride to be.... since i will be using this on the road and off, I am changing out the cassett to a 12-27 and the crank to a 50-34. So with two water bottle cages, clip less pedals and shoes, along with convertable vavle stem adaptders and a small tail bag with co2 and a tube it is roughly otd @1400.
It will not be ready for pick up until Friday.... I have been using my 42pound + mountain bike to ride around and have already dropped about 15 pounds so i will hopefully break the 200 pound barrier in this up coming week....
I chose this bike over the team, since i was riding my mtb on the road and looked over my shoulder to see if a cage was approaching and ran off the road if i have been on slick road tires I am sure I would have been over the side of the road and went down the 10 foot drop running into trees etc along the way, but the 2.5 inch wide mtb tires gripped and i was able to stay up right, it was a rush though.....
