I bought a Titan Switch Comp a few months ago with aluminium frame and entry level Shimano components. Recently did my first gravel race and realised I'll have to do a few upgrades, even if just for general comfort in the next 100 km+ outing. The bike held up pretty well but on a few of the more hairy sections I just felt ill-equipped, noting that the bike isn't designed for all-out gravel.
Upgrades starting with
* Easier gears (currently 2x11 with largest ring at the back 28T)
* Mechnical disk to hydraulic disk
Question is, is just a better idea to sell the bike and buy a more suited second-hand complete bike, or go the upgrade route?
Wouldn't want to spend more than R40 k on a new bike.
Cheers
