I can't pay for the parts and installation that is required with upgrades.
Yes it does. Perhaps in the future I may be able to upgrade, but I need a good bike now, so I can move on in the sport.
Here is a simple question...poor components the bike still runs...they don't really break any faster...poor frame...snaps in two where does that leave you. I read your original post and understood perfectly I just don't agree with your line of thinking when it comes to frame vs components
