I like the seat, my backside just needs to get used to it. I love the look of the bullhorn bars. Figured I would try them and see if I like them. As for money, I wanted to build a Jeep a few months ago and decided it was a great idea. Now I have a Wrangler with $5k in parts begging to be driven..Unfortunately no where to go off road around me. My bike is one of my least expensive hobbies. I don't mind spending some here and there if I am putting quality components on it. I do plan on getting that crankset though (maybe not in red) but just need to know about the bottom bracket and bearings.
