I just recently made some upgrades (but kept the original parts of course). My buddy at the bike shop was able to hook me up with some used parts for free, but the bike rides so much better now.

- Dropped the smallest chain ring and changed the outer to a 48-tooth
- LOOK Keo clipless pedals
- Specialized body geometry saddle (in white, to match the bars)
- Bars re-taped in white

They also cleaned the bike and greased and oiled everything. At the end of the day, I paid $9 for the bar tape, and that was it! It pays to have friends in the bike shop I guess

I've got a set of lower-profile Shimano brakes that I'll fit eventually. At this point though, the only thing she's gonna need are new cables (and tires once these start to dry-rot).
