Always seems a lot for the small upgrades to me , epically as usually I upgrade my bikes anyway.
i would like a D10/ Ori frame, but i would sooner buy an additional good hybrid.
Maybe one day on ebay I will be temped.
An essiential upgrade IMO is to swap to teflon lined brake cables and better brake blocks. (koolstop salmon front, and green swiss stop rear).
Going further swopping the outers cables to Kelver with telfon linning inner has made my dual drive even slicker. I expect it will also improve the braking on the rear brake when I get around to installing the outers.
