I've also been rethinking my winter upgrade plans. If you recall, I ordered a replacment crank... but recently realized it was not what I wanted. Fortunately the vendor allows returns within 1 year of purchase so I sent it back and got a refund. I've been reading about crank length and I'm glad I returned it. I'm playing a long game and will pick up items on sale/as the budget allows. Eventually the bike will get upgraded to the R 7000 105 crank as well as front and rear derailures. I like the bike enough to make those upgrades to it and enjoy it.
If i get brave and can figure out what is all involved, I'll use the take off parts and install a 2x11 setup on my wife's Trek Verve 3. I know she would appreciate the 105 2x11 setup as the current Alivio 3x setup does fit her riding style. Plus, these parts are in great condidtion and will last her a long time.
