Hello!
Bought this off ebay but I'm currently doing it up:
So far I've just replaced the pedals to SPDs, given it a clean up, replaced the rack and taken off the mudgards as they were rubbing on the wheel. And lowered the seat/handlebars to adjust to my size of course!
Next I'm going to:
Convert from downtube levers to STI - I've got all the bits I need for this, including new Specialized Phat bar tape. I'm doing this on Sunday, and lots of research is going to have to take place before then!
Get a pretty Brooks saddle (asked for one for my bday!) in black to match bar tape.
Fit mudguards (probably the ones I took off my old bike before I sold it)
Possibly get a shorter handlebar stem although I'm not sure about this. Assuming the "stem" is the bit which goes into the forks - I'm not up with all the bike terminology yet....
Maybe replace transfers as they're really tatty. However, the only place I can find Galaxy transfers is ebay and they're really expensive.
All this before I go on holiday at the end of July...
