Yes, that's what I was talking about. I've already done the pricing on upgrading the drivetrain and shifters (I have the grip shifters as well), and with the LBS sourced parts and labor, I'm halfway to the price of another bike. My bike is serviceable the way it is, and there are aspects of my frame that I'm not too fond of (short chainstays). So I'm thinking about just getting another bike.
