Well, which is it? You cirticize the poster in the post previous to the one that I quoted, but he is spot on. He is just trying to save you money in the long run. Like someone else pointed out, once you come to your senses you will be providing similar advice when someone wants to put upgrades on a cheap bike like this. You should have been doing these upgrades on a used $200-$300 frame/bike that was worthy of the upgrades to begin with. Do you still not see this?
