Any suggestions?
If there is one area to not skimp on, it is lights. Buy cheap chains, cassettes, tires, etc. Cheap chains are not likely to cost you your life or cause an accident. Lights might.
This is something I can't understand. I train with people riding $7000.00+ bikes and they still skimp or don't even use lights when it is dark. Some don't even own lights. I believe this is a genetic defect that Darwinism should have corrected.
I have over about $500 invested in the lights on my commuter bike & helmet & another $56 in a B&M sidewall generator. However, my road race frame was $199.
