Hi all;
I got this bike back in 2005, it was a gift given to me to ride to work at my first job. I have loved it ever since despite it being heavy and unwieldily. It has a great upright riding position from which I can see the world around me and feels solid so won't break.
However, it could really now do with a few bits changing, an expensive problem.
I have been considering replacing it with something better suited to the type of cycling I do (roads with the odd canal path, thinking of the genesis croix de fer.)
Before I do that I thought I would ask if anyone could suggest a few upgrades that might convince me to keep the bike. The main thing being the disk brakes which are quite heavy and I assume that they have moved forward a bit in the last few years.
If it is not too expensive maybe I could have both bikes so that I have the Felt as a backup not to worry about.
Regards;
Nic
