Yeah I get your drift. I understand it's not a high end bike. But it's my first bike and I've gain some "attachment" towards it. I've also been using this bike as a foundation to learn how to work on bikes. I have for example replaced the BB, relaced the wheel with a new hub (yeah I relaced spokes). Replace the chain, front derailleur. New rim tape. Of course new shifters and shift cables (inner) and brake cables. Also learned how to adjust derailleur etc...
I've learned a ****-ton about working on bikes by this bike.
