After 3 days of fretting over what I should replace/upgrade, and what I need to buy to make this bike mine,
I finally arrived at my shopping list:
Dia-Compe Gran Compe Bicycle Saddle WHITE Leather
ITM RACING SUPER 330 Road Drop Handlebars
plus Sunlite Road Bicycle Drop Bar Foam Grips, 4 piece set
plus SRAM Supercork Bicycle Bar Tape
Shimano BL-R400 Road Drop Brake Levers Set
Dimension Combo Pro Pedal/Toe clip Set 9/16" Alum
XLC Brake Cable and Housing, Universal, White / x2
Schwinn Aluminum Frame Pump
Pedro's Green Fizz Foaming Cleaner
Pedro's Tire Lever
Bell F12 Bike Computer
The bike cost me $70 and a few hours of cleaning and tuning, and the damage of my shopping cart is a bit over $200 for a total of less than $300 so far. Not too bad, because it feels like a very sweet ride! ☺☺☺
