The Fuji felt "soft" to me in the rear. That was the main reason I got rid of it.......well, really I am just never content and must frequently change to maintain interest.

That's nice. How about some darker pedals next?

Yeah, black pedals would probably look better. I thought I could keep them as they tie into the white bits on the frame though?

This has two questions on my mind.

1 - Do you buy new bikes with the intention of upgrading them and flipping them quickly? Or do you just get impatient and want a new toy? I'm not asking that snarkily, I think either of those is totally valid.

2 - Who wins the Egg Bowl this year?

1. When I buy a bike it is with the full intention of upgrading it and riding it until it falls apart....then I get bored and sell it to start over.

2. Mississippi State

Couple more changes/upgrades.

Added SRAM Red Aerolink brakes to round the group out

Changed to a 110mm stem to test fit

EDIT: Forgot to mention that she weighs 7.18kg on the nose. Keep in mind the heavy tires, chain and cassette. Will be lighter as those parts wear and are upgraded.
