It's going to have a few unorthodox parts on it, but I'm setting it up for me, not anyone else, or to impress anyone else. I will be using crank bros. Acid2 pedals because I want a bit more of a platform and I'd rather not wear incredibly stiff and uncomfortable road shoes. So I'm going to use a walk-able MTB clipless system.

It'll be fun, hopefully I don't upset anyone by not following the "rules" ;)

I remember reading about the Prestige; it was the first review I read in the first issue of Road Bike Action I bought. I'm still kicking myself for not pursuing it; but my wife said if I came home with anything with a "plastic" frame, I'd be making child support payments. Sure wish a lot of the time that I'd called her bluff. Totally gorgeous bike.

What size is your crank--53/39,50/34, or something else?
