Show us your 2013 Upgrades

[MattHB]

Taking all the dirt off of mine was like having a new bike. Does that count?

 

[smokeysmoo]

depends which rules you use..........http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/comment-page-8/

see rules 8 & 26

Ah yes, IMO the valves look better at 12 o'clock, and the chainset should always be level

Seriously though, it's your bike so just fit whatever you want Pal.





just not red tape, saddle or tyres.

@ cybernight.......looks like we got the same taste in wheels and tyres!

Tyres were stock, when they wear out i will consider something else , i had some ultremo`s but i never dared to ride them as they looked to thin and i read a lot about them cutting up and wearing fast , i use gator skins for commuting .

Don't know if a complete bike counts as an upgrade

Does this count.

Don't see why not....you just upgraded every component on your old bike

 

[davester65]

Surely lots of you guys have new stuff on your bike since xmas...........share

Added some new bling to your bike? Was Father Christmas good to you this year? Or have you given yourself a treat over the New Year? Show us what you got.....

I've given my Convert2 a new Ritchey finishing kit, just waiting for postie to deliver the matching bar tape.

Was thinking of using Red Bar Tape and a Red Charge Spoon, What do you think guys?

As a former Kinesis owner (of 3 of their bikes) I approve of this Love it.

I think it looks good as is, and would keep the parts/tape you have on it now.

I'll be upgrading my Forme which I get in 2 weeks, over 2013, so will subscribe to this thread.

Blooming nice they are. Really good price from Ribble - Stronglight Zircal 7075 rings. Got the chain rings, Dura Ace chain and a Deda Dogfang for £67. The rings themselves are often £70 at other sellers. Been using the Stronglight Dural chain rings on my Ribble 653 for years, not as pretty as the Zircal, but work very well.
