Get in shape on the bike you now have.
Bicycle riding is 10% bicycle, 90% motor.
You are the motor.
Tune it up and ride.
Tuning up the motor isn't going to do much if the bicycle is too uncomfortable to be ridden. Think of the Honda RC51 that Village Idiot owned as a racing bicycle: short wheelbase, long top tube, -12 degree stem, and 8" of saddle to bar drop. Does that sound like a bike you'd be comfortable riding? Does it sound like one you'd recommend to a Clydesdale who has never owned a road bike?
Once you've got a bike that
fits, then it's time to work on the motor!
