Obtuse? Ill be acute If you prefer.
You're contradicting yourself. You're suggesting the thread is "about the generally pointless pursuit of swapping out components for for more expensive replacements." Having conceded that a pointless exercise, you then suggest changing a saddle a more comfortable one can be found, or clip in pedals for greater security.
Yet you say a pointless exercise.
"Maybe look at the saddle if you can find one that is more comfortable", you say. Why not extend that same consideration to bars? Or pedals? It may be there's is little or no gain to be made from his current bars, but that could equally be true of his bum perch.
You're just being argumentative for the sake or it, then contradicting your previous posts in the very same thread when asked for clarification.
And speaking of clarification, how in any way is my previous post obtuse? It was a legitimate question, reasonably and politely put.
What do YOU define as an upgrade? Citius gives a definition that suits him, and has then given advice to the OP that is contrary to his very own definition.
"Upgrade - to raise something to a higher standard, in particular improve (equipment or machinery) by adding or replacing components." Seems pretty simple to me.
