You'd be surprised. I spent hundreds of dollars experimenting with various high-end plastic saddles, and the B17 was good to go from the first or second ride. Would have saved myself a lot of money, time, and hassle if I'd going with it from the beginning.

Day late and a dollar short, story of my life! Worst case it ends up on ebay or the saddle swap.

Best bars eva! The most comfortable bartops, love em when I'm climbing. And the shallow drops can actually help you get lower more comfortably depending on your fit. I remember reading in an article about a guy from Saxo getting re-fitted and by raising his bars a little he was more comfortable and more aero because he was able to bend his elbows rather then having his arms straight with a lower reach.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
The Lumotec IQ is a great light... did not buy but was given a Lumotec Oval (halogen) which should keep the roads lit up this winter and caught a sale today and bought new wool / thinsulate flip mitts at 75% off which got me 4 pairs for $10.00 ( I will be giving some away).
For all the high tech gear I have tried these have been best at keeping my hands warm and dry (I think Machka agrees with me on this)... slipping a glove inside them really adds to their warmth factor and have handled temperatures below -40 C with these.

Throw the stick!!!!
Just installed this heavy ass crankset.
And this rear wheel. Right now the freewheeil is pretty tight, hopefully it loosens up after a ride or two.

I know this is the Road Cycling Forum but I went in to look at their road bikes.
They opened up a Performance pretty close by so I stopped in to check out some of their Fuji bikes and I walked out with this.
2010 GT Avalanche 3.0 - Stock right now but I have pedals and cages for it of course.
Disc Brakes should come in hand for the winter.

Harbor Freight 1/4" drive torque wrench - $13 on sale.
I was surprised at how loose I left my seat post after adjustments, even though I tightened it pretty good and it didn't move.

What reviews?
Or those reviews where I go over to a friends house and watch him torque his brand new engines with a HF torque wrench and they come out just fine on initial start up and stay that way until it's time for a new engine for the new season?

i have that same wrench from HF, it's been quite fine for me, I use it to move my crankset around fairly frequently.
