Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's kind of odd someone hasn't bought it yet, esp with the reduced price.

Out of curiousity, why didn't you return it to CC under their no questions asked return policy? I think you bought it from them.

Yep I did buy it from CC. But i bought it as a complete bike and immediately started throwing some upgrades on it (crank, wheels, tires, seat post, etc) and sold the stock items. So essentially I'd be giving them back the bike with about $800 in upgrades.

I'm horrible with purchasing as you can see lol

Much better! You gained some flexibility. I personally like my front end even lower than that, but I'm sure that it works for you!
