As the poster above stated, save up for a good Craigslist bike. Look for a good frame and rims. Then upgrade that bike. Other than just maintaining your MAGNA, save the money. Upgrading it is like putting lipstick on a pig.

LOL, but I like my pig!

But seriously, you're probably right. The bike I have is good for what it is - reliability on a budget, and more miles than all the other bikes I've owned combined. (I'm embarrassed to admit that I've almost become sentimental over it ) I'm not the patient type, so I'll just need to talk myself into saving up to buy a better one all at once later on, keeping this one as a spare.

Again thanks for the input.
