as for shorts, right now i've got a pair of cannondale bib nickers that seem to work fairly well.

pedals - i think i'll stick with my clips for now. maybe later i'll upgrade to clipless. but the other side of that is once nicer weather gets here, i'll be commuting to work and back on my bike, and don't want the hassle (yet) of dealing with KC drivers and clipless pedals.

my bike is a close fit, i think. i'm about 5'8 or 5'9, about 33" inseam (actual, not pants) and riding a 53 or 54 cm specialized frame. once i give up on my current (stock) seat, i'l talk to one of the two LBS's near me about doing a bike fitment and working as much as possible with what i've got.
