This thread reminds me of the Muppets song..."it's not easy, being green..." :-)
I plan on riding mine off road. For those that live in Minneapolis, I ride to Theodore Wirth from South Minneapolis, and also to the River Bottom singletrack trail. Mostly, it's a commuter. It's got a 107 BB on it for a Sugino XD2 triple crank. Rivendell installed it. I've got some super beefy Sun Rhyno Lite rims with Schwalble 700x47 tires for now. And I think I'm going with the Albatross bars for now, just because I haven't had them for a while. I raced my 64cm Quickbeam in a mountain bike race once running Albatross bars...my only complaint off-road with them is that I couldn't push them out far enough on a 12cm stem. No problem with this bike! The top tube (effective) is 2cm is longer. I know Grant says TT length doesn't matter, but I measured it anyway. I'm really excited about the bike. It coincides with a busy time at work. I wanted to take a day off and build it up, but it looks like I'll have to wait until the weekend. Thanks for all the tips.
