Hi all,
New to this forum and just returned to being a roadie.
I lost touch with bikes for many years but my wife picked up the itch last summer, buying a Giant OCR3W. I used her old steel touring dinosaur for all last summer but recently bought this at a great price:
2007 Lemond Reno;

I'm a nerdy enthousuiast type and am already contemplating upgrades....
Can anyone suggest what shoud be first?
My guess is the brakes. They are black no-name things.
Wheels?
I'm looking for 'reasonable' suggestions with an eye to best performance value for the price.
I've already replaced the stock saddle with a white Time Activ' TI AIR FLOW seat (205g) (www.time-sport.com), and swapped out the original black handlebar tape for a nice pure white to go with the seat.
Also swapped the pedals with cages for a pair of KEO Easy pedals.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Peter
