Should I upgrade mine or sell it? I've loved my Lotus Classique since I bought it back in the early 80's and kept it in good condition, but it's harder and harder to climb hills with the old gearing and the brakes don't work as well as when I had young hands. Is it worthwhile to upgrade the bike with modern components and does anyone out there have an idea of the cost if I have a bike shop do the work?
