'Upgrade fever' I like that one, isn't that the fuel of most upgrades? Who really 'needs' an upgrade after all??? But are partly right though in your assumption

I've worked through my suite of cycling gear and my road bike is the last thing to look at, partly because it's least used. I have a month or so off over xmas and wondered if it would be worthwhile searching around for bits to build a new bike. My reasoning was a 10 year old bike that only cost £750 new could be improved as tech has moved on considerably. Maybe not though?

I could up the budget but I have no interest in dropping £2-£3k on a road bike. Do I really need a bigger incremental jump to notice a difference?

Appreciate your honesty, it's very easy to get caught up in all of this.
