Nice bike !! You've got everything well thought out Mister. Interesting account on the minor adjustments an' all, a good thing you're handy and know your way around bikes. As far as the cranks and other parts; wheels, any number of things. Such Co's it seems, obtain earlier models, presumably at reduced prices, lowering their net cost. Cranks for example fall out of favor after two so years, still viable, less fashionable.
