PDR said it was getting quiet around here so I thought I would start a thread...
I got a job a month ago (after a little over a month of unemployment). So I'm going to treat myself. This winter I'll be doing some upgrades to my Bike Friday Tikit. It's pretty much a standard large hyperfold model.
Here are the upgrades I'm thinking about...
- new Ergon grips... never made the effort to buy them (even though I complain about the grips any time I ride for extended periods of time.
- rear rack... I have the front rack, but I think I would like the rear for the additional stability while folded
- swap rear triangle and conver to IGH or possibly a SRAM 3x9... this is the really expensive upgrade, but I think ultimately it will be worth it for the hills around here.
- shower cap bag... I bought my Tikit used, and it didn't come with this bag. Probably time to get it
- new handlebar... I'm seriously considering mustache or commuter style bars. I'm not super aggressive when I ride so this should fit my style of riding pretty well
Your thoughts, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
