Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A few more.

How many of you get quickly use to SRAM shifting mechanics? I come from Dura-Ace/Ultegra systems.
And while SRAM is excellent quality, I still find myself slap handely trying to move brake lever for upshifts.

First time with sram and only put a one time 23 miles on it................I like it......bit noise'er than shimano but seems to have ultegra beat. Love the magnesium paddle shifter and carbon levers.

Isn't your seatpost supposed to set-back instead of set-forward?

It's set forward with the seat all the way back.

You can probably make it set back (looks a lot better) and move the seat forward.
