SpesializeR Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Hi We are all the same. When you are cycling it is all about what makes YOU feel good,not your wife or the children but YOU.So you have spare money and you are thinking UPGRADE!!! To me that means something on tthat bike is bothering you.My advice is to sit down and be honest with yourself and then upgrade whatever is bothering you OR would help you to feel better about getting up early in the morning to go and cycle.Cycling is personal so do not try and please any one else but yourself. If you do not know yourself what to spend your money on then you are happy so let it be and spend the money on your girl/wife and I promise happy cycling of a different kind would put a smile on your dile.
chris_w_65 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 +4 wheels Wheels can also make a bike look much better and that can help you get out of bed to ride it
The expat cyclist Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Whatever breaks first. A chain is only as astrong as it's weakest link.

patches Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I gotta agree with the majority on this one... wheels. Everytime I've bought a bike, it's been the first big ticket item I upgrade.

Pardon me, I looked at the pic, I see It already has a recon on it. I'll then substitute it with a FS frame
