Bought the 8.3 DS yesterday, have read most of this thread, and have a couple questions. While on my 1st ride at home, away from the street noise near the shop, I immediately noticed what I think is the front rotor scraping. This is the first bike with discs, so I'm not sure if it's a bad thing or not. I'll get it back to the shop tomorrow if it's something that shouldn't be happening.
The other question has to do with frame size - the bike is a 21", I'm 5'11". Two different shop guys told me it fit better than the 19", even though I barely clear the bar - I almost have to stand on tip toes to get the 1-2" clearance I've always thought is needed. Both guys said that's fine. The short ride I took seemed comfortable enough, but it was only a few miles. Any reason to be concerned, other than the potential painful contact with the bar??
