Well I settled for the Sugino RD cranks instead of the Sugino 75's or something else just cuz i liked how they looked, and i didn't feel like a 144bcd crank would give me THAT much more utility. The Kalloy seatpost is just because i couldn't get my hands on the Supertype seatpost that I wanted. I tried to get one from thebikebiz, and waited a whole month, but they never came, so i just settled. The seatpost is the only thing on the bike that I plan on changing sometime in the future.
