I actually looked in to upgrading the Fuji. A new chain ring (and probably cranks), FD, and shifter would have cost more than just selling the Fuji (which I did for $100 profit) and buying the Felt (which I got a great deal on). Worked out great. I don't think I am much faster, but the bike shifts much better, the chain never comes off (which it did a lot on the triple) and I didn't spend a small fortune.

By the way, the OP never said what bike he has.
