Haha - - wasn't sure so I had to choose. Chose wrong. Say, the AU version is spec'd a bit better than the UK version. In your case I'd definitely just replace things as they break/wear out. I'm guessing the wheels are probably about had. If the hubs are good, I'd just get rims/spokes and lace up new. If the bearings/hub flanges are toast, then get new wheels. I'd also think about going single ring/chain guide (Straitline SG or Gamut) up front and maybe a better derailleur and shifter out back (like X9 shifter/X7 short cage).
