Upgrades- in what order?

[dairic]

As the title, I'm thinking of upgrading my aluminium road bike.
Question is what should I be thinking of upgrading first to see any benefits in weight or speed etc?
And of course the bling factor!

Tyres and wheels.

1. You (lighter & fitter)
2. Wheels
3. Tyres
4. Frame
5. Groupset

In my opinion of course...

What is the bike?

If it's a black bike, all of it

Spot on. "Fat Birds don't Fly". Less KG + better training = faster riding.
Then wheels/rubber together, no point in light wheels with rubbish rubber.
Frame, go lighter, groupset makes not a lot of difference in function, except higher end spec is usually a bit less grams.
And from what I hear, avoid Sram stuff for a while, Shimano works fine and Campag is more beautiful.

did you know you have Leicestershire spelt wrong in your avatar?

To the OP forget the bell and get an Airzound

1. New bike.
2. Another new bike.
3. Yet another new bike.
4. Repeat as necessary.

Yes, just never got around to changing it! It makes it sound more unique.
