I wonder if your Sora stuff could be tuned up to shift a little better -- one shouldn't have to go electronic to get decent shifting, although I'm sure it's nice stuff to use.
I figured, not sure if I could really drop much more weight, I'm fairly thin in comparison to my height as it is! I thought the same thing about my Sora, I have brought my bike to 2 seperate LBS and tried having them tune up the groupset and they cleaned and oiled everything with very minimal difference. I figure at this point I will continue to ride almost daily, and its a worthwhile investment to make.
Easier said to cyclists than unknowing parents! As a 21 year old, it'll take me a decent amount to save up for the bike first
