I agree on the bike, it really is a GREAT descender. But there is a bit of personal preference in
how bikes feel so beyond your advice of 'if it fits' I would add 'add feels good to you'. I love
my BA; I bought the 2001 and they have upgraded the component mix since then at the same price
point. And who cares about the saddle; I replaced mine immediately and auctioned the stock saddle
on EBay
