Wait. Pcad is getting a new bike?
Why wasn't there sufficient notification of this important event?

Pcad I was surprised you didn't go with the Addict that has the integrated seat mast...

I just purchased a bike with an ISP and I now have regrets. Because of my sizing it'll be difficult at best if I ever wanted to sell it.
Not to mention I almost passed out watching the shop take a hack saw to the frame.

i don't understand integrated seat posts. even if it isn't a resale issue, doesn't it mean you can't lend it to anyone else to ride?

Is your addict lumpy around the seat tube, top tube, and seat stay junction pcad?
Seems the molding process Scott uses doesn't produce clean even shapes around major tube junctions.

Bikes that do have integrated seat masts are high end bikes that one can assume someone will be racing on or using as their "performance" ride so I suspect it won't be the loaner you hand off to a friend for the weekend.

When I got home I realized the bike had an ISP and I was real concerned about the fit (the shop offers good deals, but not such great fittings).
Nonetheless, the fit seems to work, there's 4cms of adjustment in case it needs any tweaking.
I still wish I had got the adjustable seat post though.
I won't be racing it, not in the 5's.
And I don't plan on lending it out.
Selling it is probably not an option, so I guess I'm stuck with it

I don't doubt there's a reason for the advent of the ISP but it does seem to answer a question I've never asked.

I went with the Addict because my Six13 (which I do most of my miles on) has 25,000+ miles on its 4 year old frame, ditto for the parts. I found that if I stripped the bike and sold the pieces on eBay (and sold a few other things) I could swap up to a new Addict with 6700 Ultegra for <$1,000, so I made the move. Made sense to me. That Cdale is really getting worn out (doesn't owe me anything that's for sure). Still feels great. But when you get than many miles on the bike you ride every day, could be time for fresh gear. That's my view.
And I really hate those integrated seat masts. Makes it much harder to take that bike on an airplane, that's for sure. F that action.

If you bought it at Piermont are you using their e-bay program or selling the stuff yourself?

I was thinking, pcad, that pcadette is probably going to need a beater bike for college. My daughter has one (along with a Fly MTB like yours and an upgraded Trek 1.2), so I'm sure you'd want the same for yours as well. Thoughts on that?
