The seatpost was another plus surprise for me with the Diverge. It's not nearly as noticeable as a regular spring post, but I don't think that's the point of it anyway. I think it really just takes a...

I did a ride a few weeks ago, Michigan Mountain Mayhem, and there were a lot of 50+ riders along with some very expensive rides. Definitely in the $5K and up range for them. For an especially hilly...

That's a good point about their tools that are specific to bike maintenance, and you're right I was thinking more that the Park Tools I've used (which is not a lot really) all seem well made, fit in...

I'm no expert, but the Park tools are more bike specific and IMHO lend themselves to fitting your hand in ways that are more ergonomically easier for working on a bike.

Don't want to start a religious war, just wondering if you looked at the Sella Anatomica? I've used Brooks saddles before (Clydesdale here, 6'3" and 245). Really liked the Brooks, but found I love...

One other great Park Tool

Forgot to mention the Park Tool 3-way Hex wrench. Most excellent!

Don't work for Park, just decided to start getting some decent bike tools.

Fantastic Park Tool

Probably a well known tool here, but just got the Park Tool Adjustable Torque Drive (ATD-1). An excellent tool, decided to upgrade to a real bike torque wrench.

I'm 270 and enjoy the Brooks B17 quite a bit, even after just 200 miles or so. The stock saddle that came with my Specialized Roubaix was both too narrow and fit poorly to me. I'm intrigued with the...
