The drive train is shot, but the wheels which are Mavic CXP 33's on Ultegra hubs are good.. Is it worth upgrading the group to new 105?I want this bike to ride from November to March, it just needs to be a solid beater bike. I figure a new 105 bike would be at least $1,500 and new upgrades would save some money over that. Thanks in advance for any replies.
