Oh I'm no stranger to gears! I love 'email all, but I also like the single speed thang because of the beauty of simplicity. To be honest, I don't use the middle chainring very often. In the future...

The seat post, bars and stem are all Ritchey. The saddle is a Skye. I have a Terry Eliminator TFI saddle I may throw on there but I can't tell if it would really be a big improvement. The top tube...

Locks can only do so much. I find waiting with a baseball bat is easier.

Thanks for the info. I'm excited to order my new bike. My cheapo bike was stripped while locked up. It's not worth fixing and I will probably part it out for what it's worth. Truth be told I'm ready...

Still have a Terry TMI Liberator saddle that is definitely decent. Just read one review that said the stock bars bend and break. I doubt it because the bike has been so popular for so long.

Yeah, no I don't want to necessarily replace the calipers. They seem to be fine, though they come out of adjustment frequently. I just assumed that I couldn't reuse my current levers with road drops...

I'm looking for something not too aggressive, certainly not pure track drops. I ride with both front and rear brakes. The clamp on my stem reads "5 Nm" but I don't know what that means.
