Fist Shin,

Most of my upgrades are documented in previous posts. Main ones are larger chainring, handlebars, Kenda Kwest 100psi tire, Schrader valve hole drilled out in rims, fenders and basket. What mine has become is like a Raleigh "Shopper" of the 70's. A nimble comfortable bike I have no problem riding to a store 5 miles away, or for pleasure for an hour or two. Just not fast, riding with groups that averaged 16mph just wore me out.

With the 100psi tires I carry metal tire spoons, but doubt I would even attempt to fix a flat or just call my wife or kids to pick me up.
